Madrid

Physical: Lean, developing 5-foot-6, 125lb frame with some athleticism. 7.37 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance at shoulder-width as the barrel started flush on the shoulder at a 45 degree angle. Utilized a short up/down lift and replace stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone. Could get slightly rotational, staying on a line towards the middle of the field in the approach (55% LD rate via Trackman). Worked up to a T80 mph bat-exit velocity with high intent out in front, producing mostly singles power up to a 282 foot batted ball distance. 

Defensively: The middle infielder planted the foot and attacked, staying over the toes with the chest and presenting a fluid glove hand on-time. Fielded cleanly into the waist, shuffling and releasing from a H ¾ slot to the target after a glove-tap (accurate, 66 mph arm).

Physical: Developing, athletic 5-foot-6, 120-pound frame with room to continue adding strength, refinement as he matures. 7.73 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Begins from a crouched, slightly open stance as the barrel pointed at a 45 over his head, towards the pitcher; utilized a leg lift stride in order to turn the bat head through a flat path into the hitting zone. Stayed behind the ball and in the legs giving way to a mostly handsy swing in the approach; some loft present at times (55% fly ball rate) while keeping it off the ground for the most part (9% groundball rate). Got up to a 78 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball and notched a 256 foot batted ball distance during his round. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop arrived at the fielding window on time with a soft glove hand presented early, stayed on the toes with the chest slightly downhill, funneled into the belt loop and got the shoulders in line allowing for accurate throws (71 mph) from a short, high ¾ slot. Second base projection at the moment with confidence in his glove hand in any direction.

Physical: 5-foot-5, 118-pounds. Lean, compact frame.
Run: 7.59 runner in the 60.
Hit: RHH. Crouched, open stance with bent knees, hands start high with elbows close together, medium leg kick for load Hands are quick through the zone, swing finishes on an uphill plane with a high two-handed finish.
Power: 70 MPH raw exit velocity. Sprays the ball all over the field.
Defense: Consistent footwork approaching the ball, fields the ball on his arm foot, signs of good hands, gets rid of the ball quickly.
Arm: Medium arm swing; low 3/4 slot. INF - 66 MPH.

Pitching Delivery: Steady pace, Leg lift where the shoulders lean over the waist, strides in line to the target to a balanced follow through.
Arm Action: From a high and away hand position, separates in to a long arm swing with a 3/4 release.
FB: T70, 68-70 MPH. Locates in the zone with natural cut.
CB: 60-62 MPH. 12-6 shape with big, early break.

July 2018 

Defensively - sure glove with smooth and easy transfer to throwing hand, disciplined pre-pitch movement, agile footwork with good first step, clean mechanics, good instincts when ball comes off the bat, sure glove with impressive range from the right side of the infield. Offensively - good contact hitter, uses all field, keeps bat on level path through the strike zone and hands inside the ball.

 
Stands 5-foot-2, 100 pounds even with plenty of time to physically mature. He has an exit velocity of 66-mph off a tee, and arm current arm-strength of 60-mph. Offensively, very wide setup, barrel upright pre-pitch. On the pitch he uses a hard back load with a slight pause before starting his swing, heel lift for timing with no stride. Would like to see him smooth out his load to create natural rhythm. Barrel path is short and direct to the ball, mostly level with a medium length finish. Defensively, active with his lower half showing signs of projection, glove is soft and out in front from a wide stance, quick transfer to a high 3/4 release. Time and strength will be key as Madrid develops.
