3/21/21

Maryland Preseason All-State Session II

Body: 6’1’’, 180 pounds. Long and projectable frame with athleticism in the movements. 
Hit: RHH. Begins with a balanced, athletic setup as the feet are even at shoulder-width, loose approach in the box. Early leg hang to a high position at mid chest level with control on the move outward towards the pitcher, unleashing the bat head with good stretch through a slightly uphill path. Recorded an impressive 57% line drive rate swinging with high-intent during his BP round. Mostly LCF approach and liked to get leverage at the point of contact; generated interesting rotational acceleration numbers (20.4 G’s of force via Blast Motion). 
Power: 92 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Recorded a 312 foot peak batted ball distance hinting at a solid power floor at the moment. Should be able to plug both gaps with occasional HR juice to the pull-side when getting extended. XBH potential is real. 
Arm: RH. OF - 89 mph. Fluid and rhythmic arm stroke from a quick, moderate arm-circled, over the top slot. Accurate and showed plenty of carry towards the plate. 
Defense: Advanced defender with early downhill momentum in the routes, got to the spot on time with the left foot and fielded with a trusted glove hand off the left side of his body with a smooth funnel inward to the chest line. Feel for pace was evident during his defensive evaluation. 
Run: 7.14 60-yard time.

Delivery: Started from the stretch only primarily with the hands coming to a rest at the ribs. Utilized a quick leg lift to chest height with a connected move down the mound with repeatability over the front side. Quick arm action on the way through with good chest position down over an athletic finish. 
Arm Action: RH. Over the top slot with good arm speed at release; gets downhill some. 
FB: T83 mph, 80-83 mph. Average spin rate of 1794 rpm. Heavy into the zone with good command.
CB: 63-65 mph. Average spin rate of 1922 rpm. Held the zone at a 75% rate showing 11/5 shape; worked up to -13 inches of induced vertical break (depth). 
CH: 74-76 mph. Good feel for the zone and extra reach out in front (7.22 feet of average extension).

Freshman Free Showcase

Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6’0’’, 156 pounds. Lanky, athletic, projectable frame.
Hit: RHH. Balanced, square stance with bat resting on back shoulder. Short, toe-tap load with minimal stride. Short to the ball with a slightly uphill swing path. Stays behind the ball flashing quick hands and fast bat speed through the zone. Balanced, high, one-handed finish. 
Power: 79 mph exit velocity from the tee. Gap-to-gap power.
Arm: RH. OF - 88 mph. Long arm action throwing from over the top. Throws showed carry.
Defense: Plays through the ball in the outfield with clean exchanges. Carries momentum through the throw. 
Run: 4.47 home-to-first time.
Delivery: Pitches from the stretch position with hands set at belt. Slight side-rocker step and high leg kick into a tall, compact balance point. Clean hand separation and quick, twitchy down-to-out stride off the rubber. Lands in-line to the plate with front foot closed. Showed extension and a slightly upright, athletic finish.     
Arm Action: RH. Throws downhill with long, loose arm action over the top with some effort.
FB: T81 mph, 79-81 mph.
CB: 63-65 mph. Tight 11/5 shape

MD Freshman Free Showcase 1.26.19

Long, lanky, athletic body type and 5’11’’, 135 pound frame with room to grow and fill out. Hits from a staggered, open stance with weight slightly shifted to back side. Quarter front side turn in load with a toe tap. Short, slightly uphill swing path that has a tendency to get level at times. Hits from back side with some lower half involvement. Showed quick hands and some bat speed. Line drive type hitter with occasional pop. Recorded an exit velocity of 70 mph. Works through the ball in the outfield with fundamental footwork and a controlled approach. Throws with long arm action from a high three-quarters slot at 78 mph with a slight glove tap in exchange. Pitched mostly from the stretch with a high leg kick into a tall, compact balance point with a quarter corkscrew turn. Long back arm action that gets shorter during delivery. Clean hand separation and long stride. Gets over front side well and pitches downhill with strong lower half drive. Lands square to the plate with a slightly upright finish. Throws from a high three-quarter slot with regular effort. Fastball sat 74-75 mph. Change-up was 66-68 mph and breaking ball had big 11/5 shape at 60-61 mph.
