Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Loads straight back with an up and down stride for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing a strong lower half. Showed a flat swing path with a finish around the back.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 82 MPH via Trackman.

7/28/21

Physical: Lanky, high-waisted 6-foot, 155lb frame (projectable). 7.36 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Upright, wider stance at a slightly open position. Utilized a leg-hang stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Liked to get the arms extended on pitches out over the plate in space, gaining a natural pull-side approach en route to a 27% line drive rate (via Trackman). Posted a T81 mph bat-exit velocity and hit behind the ball well on the backside, flashing some hand speed on the inner half. Developing singles power at the moment with more power/strength coming. 

Defensively: The outfielder worked laterally before getting downward at the catch. Fielded with low-pulse and average pace off his right side, shifting the body in-line to the plate with a shuffle; released at an accurate H slot (67 mph arm, slight run).

Pitching: LHP - Set up off the glove side of the rubber using an offset start; got the leg lifted higher, above the waist as he generated north/south actions in the shoulders into footstrike. Fell off slightly to the third base side with a short arm-circle to a H slot. The FB landed at 70-72 mph with strike-throwing attributes, adding gradual 1/7 shape on a 62-63 mph CB (feel to spin).
