6/30/21

Physical: Lanky, athletic 5-foot-10, 150lb frame with room to develop strength. 7.25 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Narrow, upright stance with minor hand rhythm pre-swing. Utilized a short, directional lift and replace stride to initiate a flat, efficient path into the hitting zone. Fluid slot that allowed the top hand to work flawlessly through the baseball towards extension; notched a 36% line drive rate (via Trackman) with a chance to hit for some average in the middle of the field. Produced a T87 mph bat-exit velocity with doubles power to pull at a 300 foot peak batted ball distance. Top of the order, handsy type hitter at times; tough out at the plate with minimal swing/miss.

Defensively: The middle infielder liked to get lateral in routes, ranging in either direction with feel on the release, getting rid quickly from a H ¾ slot. Presented the glove hand on time, staying bent over the toes in a medium/lower posture. Shuffled in-line and released up to a 76 mph arm strength from his position. 

Pitching: RHP - Started from the stretch only off the left side of the rubber; came set slightly offset with the hands together at the chest. Utilized a shorter, shallow leg lift (slide-step) that got down the slope quickly and in-line to the mitt. H ¾ release and athletic thrower, landing the FB at 77-79 mph for strikes. Mixed in a tunneled 65-67 mph CH with similar arm action out of the hand (consistent fade to arm side). 


2/18/21

Physical: Lean, projectable 5-foot-10, 150-pound frame with strength present in the actions. 7.72 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, open stance with the hands starting with rhythm on the shoulder. Utilized a barrel tip with a leg hang stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, sometimes slight uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed moderately high in the posture with good control of the upper half (barrel) in the box. Recorded a solid 33% line drive rate per Trackman Baseball while accruing an 86 mph peak bat-exit velocity (80 mph average). A 58% on-plane efficiency suggests developing bat to ball skills at the moment. Should be able to plug the pull-side gap for extra bases, where he lived during a solid batting practice round. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop played low to the ground with active feet, beating the ball to the spot with regularity; accurate, soft glove hand playing out in front and funneling into the body, good pace across the diamond, releasing from a quick, high ¾ slot (75 mph).


9/19/20

Physical: Lean / athletic 6-foot, 175-pound frame with length throughout the build / room to add strength. 7.32 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Narrow, wide open stance with the hands showing controlled rhythm slightly above the shoulder in the setup. Utilized a lift and replace stride while landing a little open upon footstrike, the barrel worked through a fluid, flat path and into the hitting zone. Showcased a quality lower half with adjustability while matching the plane of the pitch with consistency, featured a mostly pull-side approach with hard line drive contact through the LCF gap, leveraged stroke and continues to jolt the hands towards the front of the plate in the box. Advanced control allowing for high level bat to ball skills, recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 85 mph per Trackman Baseball. Defensively: The primary shortstop displayed loose, active footwork with adequate pace across the diamond while fielding out in front of the middle of his body with a soft glove hand, smooth transfers, and an accurate high ¾ slot (medium arm circle). Made the play on the run with relative ease. INF - 70 mph Pitching: RHP - Worked from the stretch only off of the left side of the rubber, medium leg lift while getting into a bent backside before driving out directionally towards the plate, landed balanced and even while releasing through a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 72-73 mph getting up to 1937 spin per Trackman Baseball, mixed in a quality 61-63 mph breaker with late 11/5 shape across the zone, countered with a low spin 61-63 mph CH creating deception out of the hand.
