Maryland Preseason All-State Session II

Body: 6’0’’, 165 pounds. Projectable, athletic frame with room to add strength as he matures. 
Hit: RHH. Wide, even stance with a bend in the knees and high hand start at head level. Utilized a leg lift stride straight up and straight down, entering the hitting zone through a slightly vertical path. Worked short to long in the swing with extension on pitches above the belt creating loft (55% fly ball rate). Mostly pull side approach and liked to race the hands towards the front of the plate for leverage, hit into a stiff front side while notching a quality 67% on-plane efficiency (bat to ball skills). 
Power: 84 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Developing doubles power at the moment with a table-setter approach as he keeps adding physicality. 
Arm: RH. OF - 83 mph. Long, deep takeaway with a full arm circle. Accurate and some carry towards the target, projects to slot in at LF for the moment. 
Defense: Approached with good instincts and like he was shot out of a cannon on some reps, attacked with urgency creating pace and momentum towards his target, soft glove hand working off the middle, left side of his body; athleticism pops. 
Run: 7.32 60-yard time.

Delivery: Started from the middle of the rubber with a short side rocker into a controlled, even leg lift at the chest; moderate, consistent pace throughout the delivery with a high hand break around the neck region. Finished athletically over the front side creating downhill play into the zone. 
Arm Action: RH. High ¾ slot with some quickness. 
FB: T81 mph, 78-80 mph. Average spin rate of 1786 rpm. Increased action down in the zone with some arm side run present. 
CB: 60-63 mph. Average spin rate of 1803 rpm. Big-time sweep across the plate with gradual action to it. 
CH: 71-72 mph.
