New England Procase

6-foot-1, 180-pound, strong athletic frame, hands and wrists have good strength to them. A right-handed hitting middle infielder, projects for me to be a very offensive second baseman or a moved to third at some point. The stance is taller, slightly open, relaxed loose hands at the shoulders. The swing is short to contact, stays through it, rolling hands late and higher, approach more middle to pull side. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 90 mph, ran a 7.10 sixty-yard dash, moves well for a bigger player. Defensively, arm was clocked at 86 mph, showing carry and flight to all throws. The approach was clean and accurate, getting around the baseball. Starts and feeds were performed well from both sides, the arm will turn double plays from the second base side. 

Tee Exit velocity: 90 mph

Arm Velocity: 86 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 7.10

6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed hitting infielder. Ran a 7.29 sixty on the laser at the event. The glove is solid and free with action. The feet stay active throughout the process. Threw 84 mph across the diamond. Has the ability to play all 3 spots at the next level, more than likely a third baseman. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 90 mph. The setup is even in base, bottom half is under control throughout the swing. The path has lift in it, small collapse of the back leg at contact. The hands are good and work well. The frame has improved and he is becoming physical. Solid prospect who has improved immensely in the last couple years.

6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed hitting infielder. Patrick has progressed very nicely since we last saw him, turned himself into a legit pro prospect. Ran a 4.57 down the line on his dig to first base. The glove and footwork are done appropriately at the shortstop position. He has the capability of playing all the infield spots at the next level. Threw 82 mph across the diamond with minimal effort. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 92 mph. The setup is even in base, steps into the ball as the swing begins. The hands work freely, slight lift in the path to contact. The finish is slightly cut off after contact.  Swung the bat extremely well in live game action.

6-foot, 165-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder. Threw 78 mph across the diamond. The feet work well and he moves athletically all over the field.  The glove is advanced at this stage of the development. Could play multiple positions at the next level. Showed good foot speed at the event. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 89 mph. The setup is even with his feet, and the bottom half is under control throughout the swing. The path is flat to contact, could accelerate his hands through contact as he cuts himself off a bit during the finish of the swing. Solid performance, he is a good looking prospect.

6-foot, 160-pound right-handed hitting infielder, can play all three spots. Continues to improve each time we see him.  Threw 74 mph across the diamond with minimal effort. The glove is solid and he works his feet through the ball appropriately. The glove and athleticsm is advanced enough at this age that he could play all 3 infield positions with ease. Ton of value in this guy as a defender. Ran a 4.4 down the line on his dig to first base. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 86 mph. Sets up with his even, stays in his legs during the swing. The hands work clean as the bat path can be adjusted. Produces top spin on balls he hits currently, we want to work down and through the ball to create back spin. Easy adjustment as he matures. Finishing the swing through contact is a must as well.

5-foot-11, 160-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder with an advanced skill set. Still growing and the frame should fill out nicely. Threw 78 mph across the infield with carry and accuracy. The prep steps to the ball are appropriate and he gets off the ball very well. The glove is solid and his hands are soft. Ran a 4.6 down the line on his dig to first. The bat has life to it, tee exit velocity of 88 mph. Sets up with his feet wide and the front foot partially open. Closes down as the ball approaches. The hands start even and there is a some length to the path. He gets the bat flat through the zone but has a small collapse on the backside causing some uphill plane to the barrel. Love the skill set and he should only improve as he matures.

5-foot-11, 160-pound right-handed hitting infielder with smooth actions and a high ceiling as a defender. Threw 70 mph across the infield with proper footwork and a proper follow after the throw to first. The glove is advanced, as its soft and positioned appropriately. Ran a 7.5 sixty. At the plate, tee exit velocity of 80 mph. Sets up with his feet even and the front foot slightly open. The front foot closes down as the ball approaches. The hands are set low and the path is flat to the ball. Needs to finish through the ball as the bat is cut off after contact. Good looking prospect at his age, one to keep an eye on.

Good looking young player, showed a solid glove in the infield with the makings of good footwork. Threw 72 mph across the diamond with a loose arm. The foot speed will have to improve as he matures, ran a 4.7 down the line on his dig to first base in the game. The bat is solid and has a good foundation to it. Tee exit velocity of 77 mph, as that will improve with physical maturation. The setup is wide with his feet, the hands are even, back elbow is high as well. The path is clean and has a little length to it, shows a flat plane to the ball. Good looking all around approach in batting practice.
