Hit:Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright setup. Quiet loader with a mostly balanced launch. Path is uphill with rotational sequence. All field abilities with more natural ball flight to the middle of the field.
Power:Faster than he is strong with hands but tools are comparable. Line drive pop.
Max BP Exit:82mph
Max BP Distance: 295 ft
Offensive Projection:Top of lineup.
Field:Behind the dish he starts in a mid crouch. Feet show quickness as he gets out of stance with good direction. Exchange abilities are on par to ahead of the curve for class.
Throw:Arm action fits the position. Respectable strength with a mostly accurate delivery.
Defensive Projection:C.

1/20/20

Hit: Athletic, yet simple sequence in the box. Balance is there and swing finds plane early. Very solid round, using the entire field and showing impressive barrel accuracy.
Power: Line drive with more to come.
Offensive Projection: Multiple Roles.
Top Rapsodo BP Exit Velocity: 79
Top Rapsodo BP Distance: 289
Field: At 3B he plays through the ball well with average footwork and a fairly quick release. Really showed well behind the dish. Above average skillset across the board.
Defensive Projection: C/Corner IF

2/17/19

2/17/19

Body Type: 5-foot-10, 170 pounds. Athletic, sturdy build.

Swing Mechanics: Wider stance in the box from this righty. Quicker bat speed produced from his while swinging it with an uphill stroke.

Hit: Stayed on some pitches very well with nice barrel action and line-drive results.

Power: 76 mph exit velocity with power exhibited mostly pull-side in his swing.

Offensive Projection: TBD for now as he continue to grow.  

Run: 7.88 seconds 60-yard.
Field: 2.04-2.16 second pop time. Behind the plate he showed average actions for his age. Footwork plays well for now as he improves on quickness. Receives it well too. As an infielder he showed playable glovework fielding the baseball. Footwork presented ability to move well too with nicer actions for a ‘21. Progression coming on working through the ball more efficiently.

Throw: 70 mph from behind the plate. 76 mph across the diamond showing off some of his arm strength.  
Defensive Projection: Multiple roles. Plenty of time left for development.


2/17/19 Pitching
Body Type: 5-foot-10, 170-pound strong frame for class.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: High-¾ right-hander with an easier delivery. Repeats delivery with solid direction. Arm has some looseness to it with average arm speed for class.
Fastball: 72-74 mph. Mostly true through the zone with occasional arm side action. More velo to come with maturity.
Curveball: 60-63 mph. 11/5 breaker with gradual action. Showed a bit more bite to arm side.
Changeup: 67-68 mph. Developing feel while maintaining arm speed.
Pitchability: Looked comfortable with fastball and breaking ball.

1/21/19 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-10 170-pound prospect.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot with a choppy, deceptive rhythm to his delivery.

Fastball: 70-74 mph fastball showed some cutting action.

Curveball: 60-64 mph breaking ball showed a slurvey shape with good spin.

Pitchability: Showed good feel for his two pitches with the natural cut and slurvey shape of them pairing well together.
Role:
Cutter type fastball and slurvey breaking ball would make him difficult on both left handed and right handed hitters giving him the potential to be a starter but would probably need to see the velo tick up a little bit before that would be his projected role. l


1/21/19
Body Type: 5-foot-10 170-pound prospect.

Swing Mechanics: Wider stance. Barrel moves to a vertical launch during short stride for timing.

Hit: Easy, whippy swing on an in/out path. Would like to see him level out path a bit to take full advantage of that impressive natural whip he creates. Ball jumps when squared, showing backspin abilities to the middle of the field. Physical kid with hand speed. Has all the tools to hit as path becomes more playable. Barrel has authority through contact.

Power: 76 mph exit velocity. Will grow into gap abilities with ease.

Offensive Projection: Middle of the Lineup/Run Producer Potential.

Run: 7.82 60-yard dash.

Field: Registered pop times of 2.16-2.24. Average skill set across the board with potential for more. Would bet on him being around 2.0 before it is all said and done.

Throw: 72 mph arm strength across the infield and 71 mph arm strength to second base.

Defensive Projection: C.

12/3/17
Ran a 7.75 60-yard dash. Behind the plate he recorded above average pop times for class at 2.17-2.29. Threw with accuracy and 71 mph arm strength to second base. A right-handed hitter that starts in a taller setup. Uses a simple loading sequence keeping his hands relatively quiet during his short stride forward. Path is level and barrel shows noticeable whip through the zone. Ball comes off well when he finds the barrel. A line drive type with flashes of gap pop in there. Topped out at 76 mph off the tee.
