Game Performance

Notes

Comments

6/30/21

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 165lb frame with some feel present. 7.22 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, crouched stance as a high-elbowed start propelled the barrel through a slightly uphill, leveraged path following a stretched lift and replace stride. Produced a highly-efficient round of batting practice, matching pitch-plane early in ball flight with quick hands into the slot. Handled the inner half and notched a 345 foot batted ball distance at his peak (T92 mph bat-exit velocity, consistent doubles power). A 56% line drive rate (via Trackman) points to maturity in the box and a chance to hit for AVG down the road. 

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated natural centerfielder qualities, showing twitchy movements in either direction. Presented a soft glove hand on-time staying light on his feet with momentum to the target and a fluid H ¾ slot (quick trigger, 84 mph arm, carried). Held pace during his round and made fast decisions, processing correctly.


2/19/21

Physical: Athletic, lean build at 5-foot-9, 165 lbs.

Offensively: Feet start wide and even with a bend in the knees, hands start up in front of the back shoulder with a 45 degree bat angle; gets into back side as loads the hands straight back and the gains some ground on a low stride; strong effort from the lower half hitting into a stiff front side, the swing is quick with a feel for the barrel spraying line drives around the field. Peak exit velo 86 MPH

9/18/20

Physical: 5-foot-8, 155 pounds; wiry frame with strong lower half. 6.89 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Wide feet with bend in the knees and hands pushed back by his ear. Small leg kick into a stride forward, moves weight well on his back side. Extremely explosive movements from the lower half, clears the hips on time with an uphill barrel path with speed and intent in all swings. Hit the ball sharply to the left side of the field, displayed some pop in the bat through aggressive actions in his swing; peak Trackman exit velocity of 86 MPH.
Defensively: Upright stance with glove side foot in front of the other, athletic bend in the knees; takes short choppy steps to the ball to field on the correct side, athletic movements. Easy hands that field out in front, clean transfer; high intent throws from the outfield from a long 3/4 slot, exceptional hand speed through the throwing window. OF - 84 MPH.
