June 25-27, 2018 (NYS Games) 

60 Yard Dash: 
7.33
Exit Velocity:
86
Positional Arm: 
71

Great size for the position with easy frame projection, quick feet evidenced by his 7.33 60 yard dash time. Fields with an open glove, throws from a 3/4 arm slot with accuracy. In the box he uses low hands on the setup, short load, minimal knee bend, consistent contact, barrel has lag through the zone, 86 mph exit velocity and that number is going to climb quick. 

April 2018
Only a sophomore, Avery stands 6-foot-3 and is a lean 170 pounds and will only get bigger (his senior brother Trey is pushing 6’5”).  Primarily a catcher, Avery is being used at 1B with Vestal’s depth behind the dish. Avery throws right and bats left. In his 3 games this week, Avery was 4/9 with a double, 1 R, and 2 RBIs, including a bunt single.
 
Southern Tier Sluggers Workout

Avery, a 2020 left-handed hitting catcher, stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 155 pounds, ran a
7.67 60. Offensively- Starts with an open lower half, with some weight shifted to the back leg, hands in front of the back shoulder and barrel of the bat moving from a parallel to 45-degree position during pre-pitch. Gets to the launch phase of the swing with a lift of the front foot, some more weight shifted to the back side, while the hands are dropped below the back shoulder, staying slightly inside the shoulder and barrel of the bat getting perpendicular to the ground with some slight wrap towards the pitcher. Showed the ability to drive the ball from the opposite field gap to  the pull side line, keeping the hands compact and connected to the lower half movements. Advanced approach for a young hitter, registered an exit velocity of 83 MPH. Defensively-  Works from a square balanced primary stance, with little to no hand movement as the ball approaches the plate. Receives the ball with excessive glove movement, which could be corrected with an ability to relax the hand and forearm as the pitch is in flight. On throws to second, allows the ball to get deep into the zone causing the transfer to take place too close to the body and below chest height which results in the arm creating a circular movement. Throws could improve greatly with a more efficient transfer which would help keep the upper and lower in proper sequence. Recorded an arm velocity of 67 MPH and a best pop time of 2.22  on the day.
