Cove is a 5-foot-7, 160 pound left-handed hitting corner infielder. Cove hits out of a narrow, slightly open set up, with the hands just off the back shoulder. The swing begins with a leg kick, with a pushing of the hands into the launch position. The swing plan is flat and direct through the hitting zone, leading to a consistent line drive stroke. This was evident during the batting practice and yielded a max exit velocity of 87 MPH.

Defensively, Cove was 69 MPH across the infield. The feet move well, allowing him to get into a fundamental fielding position. The glove is relaxed out in front and shows soft hands as he transitions through the play. Moving through the ground ball, Cove’s feet get in line with his target and stay in a position to be strong with his throws. The arm-swing is clean and loose, finishing through the play.

On the mound, this young left-hander uses a simple delivery. He stays over the rubber, gets balanced and repeats his delivery. The arm-swing is short and quick, leading to some late run on a fastball that sits 69-72 MPH. Cove also showed a good change-up. The pitch sits 65-66 MPH, with late sinking action. He also mixed in a breaking ball at 55-56 MPH, that looks to still be developing.

5-foot-7, 160-pound left-handed pitcher and left-handed hitting first baseman. He ran a 8.28 sixty at the the event. The approach in the outfield is aggressive and online as he works his feet through the baseball. He threw 66 mph from right field to the plate at the event. The feet around the bag at first base are solid as he shows a good feel for playing the position. He threw 54 mph across the diamond at the event with minimal effort. The bat has an exit velocity of 86 mph. The setup is even in base and the front foot gains ground to the baseball as the swing is produced. The path is flat through contact with the baseball and simple to contact. On the mound, the fastball sat 68-69 mph and has good arm side action. The spin pitch was 52-53 mph and big in shape. The changeup is a developing pitch, coming in at 72-73 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is 3/4 in height. The lift is methodical and the glove comes across the hitters face. The arm work short on the backside and he showed deception.

I liked this 5-foot-4, 150 pound left-handed hitting outfielder at the plate.  The tee exit velocity was 73 mph. He starts with a narrow stance but gets to a strong position to hit.  The bat is quick through the zone and showed some pop to the pull side.Defensively in the outfield, the approach and transfer were good.  The arm registered 60 mph and should get stronger as he develops. On the mound, he throws across his body which produces some run on the fastball that sat 64-66mph.  Showed some feel for the slider at 58-60mph and the change-up was 57-59mph and needs to continue to develop.
