60: 7.25
OF Velo: 75 MPH

Winter Open (February 26, 2017)

Sightly built LHH outfielder who ran a 7.32 60 (previous best: 7.30) and a 4.28 home-to-1B. Offensively- Slightly open stance; barrel starts pointing towards the ground with some upwards lift during his load. Gains ground on his stride, closing off some and creating a bit of a sweeping path through the zone. Pull side to middle of the field line drive results. Improved bat angle early on within his setup will allow for a more consistent swing path into the zone. Table-setter approach with an improved exit velocity of 78 MPH (+5 MPH increase). Defensively- Easy approach; fields ball out in front of the body. Short take back of the arm with an over the top arm slot. Accurate arm with a peak velocity of 73 MPH. Would benefit from a more aggressive approach, receiving the ball off the glove side foot to allow for a more assertive crowhop. CF/LF mold.

Individual Player Evaluation (June 30, 2016)

Delaney is a slightly built 5-foot-6; 130 pound OF who ran a 7.30 60 and a 4.69 home-to-1B. Offensively- Delaney, a LHH, sets up in an open stance with his weight stacked up over his back side. Flat barrel at the start of his load, drawing it up to a 30 degree angle at the end of his take back. Flat bat through the zone; produces line drive/grounball contact. Extension is 2-handed and out in front. Exit velocity peaked at 73 MPH. Repeats swing and understands his game. Defensively- In the outfield Delaney is controlled with his approach; stays in motion into the ball; uses a short step through crow hop with a quicker release. A more aggressive drive through may allow for better carry; LF projection presently. Arm slot is low ¾ with some whip. Arm strength was 71 MPH.

October 24, 2015

Summer 2015
