Physical: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds; slender, athletic frame. 7.36 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH. Open, upright stance with bat waggle pre-pitch; short take back of hands with an early even leg kick. Average effort with lower half with short swing, drops head of the barrel into the ball. Works through the middle of the field; peak Trackman exit velocity of 84 MPH. Defensively: Athletic setup; active approach, choppy steps, clean footwork with smooth transitions. Clean transfer; standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 83 MPH. Pitching: Center rubber setup, compact motion; knee to chest leg lift, long stride with high over the top release; strides even & finishes with downhill momentum. Fluid long arm swing, over the top arm slot. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 77-80 MPH. Good spin axis, will have cut action at times. CB: 67-69 MPH. 10-4 rotation, good combo of sweep & depth. CH: 73-74 MPH.

The right handed hitter stands in the box in a tall stance. O'Connor displayed consistent hard contact during his batting practice at the Last Chance Event. O'Connor had a exit velocity of 79 MPH. Defensively, the infielder sits back on the baseball. Takes his time to gather himself when making the throw across the infield. On the mound, the right handed pitcher displayed a balanced delivery. O'Connor worked with a three pitch mix. FB peaked at 79 MPH. CB is sharp and ranged from 67-70 MPH. CH ranged from 73-74 MPH.

A lean athletic build at 5-foot-10,155 pounds. Ran a 7.40 in the 60 yard dash. Offensively- Displays a short compact swing. Quick direct path to the baseball. Shows hard consistent contact to the middle part of the field. Top exit velocity was 82 MPH. Defensively- As a SS, showed active footwork. Gets himself in a good position before fielding the baseball. Has a slight glove tap that he uses for timing when getting rid of the baseball. Top throwing velocity was 77 MPH. Pitching- The RHP displayed a repeatable delivery and balanced mechanics. Works with quick tempo. Gets in a balanced back side quickly using a high knee lift and early hand separation. Throws from a high ¾ arm slot. FB peaked at 77 MPH. Ranging from 75-77 MPH. Shows a sharp break down in the zone and feel for a CH down in the zone at 65-66 MPH. The 2021 graduate is one to follow as he continues to develop.
