Physical: 5-foot-8, 175 pounds; Sturdy, athletic build. 7.52 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet narrow; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a one-handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 96 MPH via Trackman. One of the more mature, developed hitters you'll see among the 2023 class. High bat and hand speed combine with a strong lower half to help produce consistently impressive exit velos and distances. Gets the hands slotted strongly with zero wasted movement in the swing.
Defensively: Starts with a compact setup; utilizing a traditional primary position while staying in an elevated position. Hands are soft with a seamless transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot. 1.94-2.03 pop times. C - 79 MPH. Vocal leader behind the plate. Composed defender with impressive catcher velos and pop times.
Physical: 5-foot-8, 175 pounds; Athletic, sturdy build. 7.33 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a short swing path with a late one hand finish. More fly balls than line drives and ground balls with a peak exit velocity of 96 MPH via Trackman. advanced bat speed with gap to gap pop.
Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; utilizing a one knee approach while staying low during receiving. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot. 2.05-2.10 pop times. C - 77 MPH. strong, accurate throws flashing carry through the bag
Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-7, 175lb frame with some compact strength. 7.49 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance as the hands started high by the head; utilized a leg lift stride up/down on-time with a barrel tip, initiating the bat head through a flat, extended path into the hitting zone. Created some rotation, holding direction while delivering the barrel towards a mostly pull-side approach. Notched a 20% fly ball rate with present bat-speed during his round, notching a 324 foot batted ball distance good enough for doubles power during batting practice. Worked up to a T93 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak (via Trackman) while hitting into a stiff/sturdy front-side at impact.
Defensively: The primary catcher featured advanced defensive actions, using solid pocket awareness when receiving from a soft, traditional setup. Pop times ranged from 1.90-1.96 with efficient, directional footwork that worked lighting quick on-time with the catch. Released fluidly from an immediate H ¾ slot, up to an accurate 74 mph arm strength. Added confident blocks showing downward, angled shields over the plate.
