Gantaifis has a lean and athletic frame at 5-foot-7, 125-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 6.87 seconds, top exit velocity recorded at 88 MPH. Wide and open setup at the dish offensively. Bigger, hanging leg kick puts him into an even and athletic stance. Creates pre-pitch rhythm with his hands while bringing them up and back. Stays inside the ball, present barrel awareness with tons of line drives. In the outfield, was aggressive yet controlled in his approach. Always fields outside his left foot, keeps his momentum going. Top positional velo of 77 MPH. On the mound, Gantaifis starts wide on the first base side of the rubber. Slower and more gradual delivery. Hands locked in place until he makes his descent down the mound. Compact arm action with a shorter arm swing. High 3/4 slot. FB was consistently thrown for strikes at 73-75 MPH. CB had big 11/5 shape at 59-60 MPH. Displayed a straight CH as well, was 61-62 MPH. 

7/06/21

Physical: 5-foot-7, 125 pounds; Wiry, athletic build. 6.87 runner in the 60.

Offensively
: RHH. Open setup, with feet shoulder width apart; upright bat position. Short take back with the hands with a moderate leg kick for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a downward swing path with a late one hand finish.  More groundballs than line drives and flyballs with a peak exit velocity of 80 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are off to the side while funnelling to the hip before transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot.  OF - 76 MPH. 

Pitching: Gantaifis uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a short stride while landing slightly open. Moderate arm swing, wrist hooks behind back, while working through a standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 75 MPH, while sitting 72-74 MPH; straight action.   

7/30/20

Physical: Lean / athletic 5-foot-6, 110-pound frame with a high waisted build and feel for his body. 7.28 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Tall, upright stance with balance in the setup, the hands started high above the shoulder. Utilized a leg-hang stride with weight shift into a tall and stiff front side to initiate the hands through a flat path into the hitting zone. Demonstrated high level barrel accuracy and repeatedly found hard contact on pitches in any quadrant, liked to lift the ball above the belt but could match pitch plane on high pitches shooting them into both gaps. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 82 mph during batting practice per Trackman Baseball with room for more as he adds strength. Defensively: The primary outfielder featured short and rangy movements with a feel for his body in space. Showed off centerfield-like qualities and got repeatedly downhill through the baseball regardless of where it was hit, smooth transfers and an accurate high ¾ slot on throws from his position. OF - 73 mph Pitching: RHP - Started from the far left side of the rubber with a side rocker step into a medium leg lift with deliberate hip coil, average pace in the delivery, landed tall with a quick arm jolting through a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 67-68 T71 mph with command in the zone, mixed a 58-60 mph CB with 11/5 shape and short break, countered with a 61-63 mph straight CH with solid deception.
