CLASS OF 2018

6/6/17
A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Loading sequence is simple and swing is compact. Does a nice job of creating barrel direction to the middle of the field. An all fields hitter with a quick bat. Produced backspin to the middle of the field. At third base he has mechanically sound footwork approaching the baseball. Glove and arm works for the position. On the bump the right-hander has an uptempo delivery that requires regular effort. Arm has some quickness to it working through an over the top slot. Fastball works downhill at 80-83 mph. Breaking ball is his put away pitch. Spin is tight and it has some depth before showing sharp downward action at 65-67 mph.

6-foot-0, 185-pound frame. Budzinski came on to the scene in a big way this winter, showing of a mid 80s fastball and a very sharp breaking ball. The right-hander has a loose, fast arm while working through a high-¾ slot. Velocity was down a pinch on this day, topping out at 83 mph.

1/28/17
6-foot, 185-pound prospect with strong, physical frame. My favorite infield prospect in attendance. Starts in an open stance from the right side. Uses toe tap in his load. Transfers weight through contact and consistently squares up the baseball. Good pop in his swing with power to the pull side. Top exit velocity of 86 mph. Defensively, shows good feel for the position. Movement in his feet before contact with good reactions. Feet maintain fluidity and shows some softness in his hands. Short arm action with top velocity of 82 mph.

1/22/17
6-foot-0, 185-pound prospect. On the mound the right-hander uses a quicker tempo to his delivery. Creates solid momentum with his lower half and lands in line to home plate. Arm action is long with above average arm speed. Working through a near over the top slot he sat 82-85 mph and topped at 86 mph with his fastball. His best offspeed pitch was his 12/6 curveball. The pitch has solid depth and very sharp/big break at 68-70 mph. Also flashed a changeup at 72-75 mph. Still developing feel for the pitch. At the plate he starts open and uses a short stride to get back to even. Hands move to launch prior to getting the bat through the zone with noticeable batspeed. Has the physical toos to be a middle of the lineup guy. Would like to see him add rhythm to his loading sequence. Showed impressive pop to his pull side. In the infield he is very mechanically sound. Glove skills are above average. Has obvious athleticism to his actions. Needs to get rid of the ball quicker.

60-yard dash: 7.38
Exit Velocity: 90
Infield Velocity: 88

2/20/16
Solidly built infielder at 6-foot, 180-pounds. At the plate he starts slightly open from the right side before getting back to even through a rhythmic, knee pinch load and short stride. Hands go slightly back during his stride before taking a very downhill path to the ball. Reached a top exit velocity of 81 mph. In the infield he did a solid job of playing low and fielding the ball out in front of his body. From a high-3/4 slot he threw across the infield with 82 mph arm strength. Ran a 4.63 from home to first.

2/15/16
5-foot-10, 185-pound prospect with good frame for his age. Throws from a high ¾ slot. Long arm action with some wrapping on the back end. Regular effort to his delivery. Tendency to land closed cutting himself off. Fastball shows occasional arm side run at 76-79 mph. Breaking ball has 11/5 break at 63-65 mph. Slows down arm speed with the pitch. Also showed a 68-71 mph changeup that tended to be up in the zone and have occasional arm side run. At the plate he starts in an open, athletic stance and gathers his weight through a knee pinch load prior to his stride. He uses an aggressive stride forward to create good weight transfer on to his front side. Hands stay quiet before getting in and out of the zone through a downhill path. Registered a top exit velocity of 80 mph. In the infield he used smooth footwork and played under control. His arm showed looseness to it as he threw across the infield with 81 mph arm strength. Ran a 4.5 from home to first.
