Jake
Machado

Stocky build, with a strong lower half at 5-foot-7, 175 pounds.  Works from the right side with a tall stance and vertical bat.  Short strider, wants extension.  Pull emphasis.  Barrel awareness can improve.  Exit velocity topped at 79 off the barrel.  Behind the dish, provides a low target with solid hand strength.  Eager to block, showing an ability to deaden offspeed.  Exchange happens prior to glove crossing the chest, limiting some of the load in the arm.  Pop times ranged 2.13 - 2.28 with occasional accuracy.  Positional velocity topped at 68 from the crouch.  Longer arm action on the infield, with some stiffness in the transfer.  Arm measured at 70 mph across the diamond.  Ran a 7.35 sixty.
