Notes

8/6/17
A left-handed bat that starts in an athletic setup. A fluid swinger that has a series of athletic, well timed movements. Natural tools show in swing. Bat speed is impressive and barrel explodes through contact. A gap to gap guy with power to come. A definite bat to follow. Behind the plate he has an ideal frame for the spot. Also a well above average athlete for the position. Mechanically sound with above average catch and throw skills. Arm strength would be area for improvement. On the bump, the right-handed pitching prospect brings a tall, athletic frame. Uses a quicker tempo as he approaches his balance point in his wind-up. Offers a waist high leg kick as he closes off his front shoulder to the plate creating some energy. Creates most of his energy from a back hip pinch and downhill drive toward the plate. Delivers the ball as a high ¾ with above average arm action and solid whip. Fastball stays true through the zone with slight arm side run working up to the high 70’s. Works in his secondary offering the breaking ball. Curveball spins at a 10/4 path and has solid command. Both pitches with more room to develop,expect more from the prospect with more maturity.

6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect. Tall, athletic build. A left-handed bat that looked dynamic during batting practice. Renken swings the bat with intent to do damage and showed the ability to drive to the ball to either gap. A very athletic frame with obvious twitch at the plate. Projects to be a well above average bat at the next level for the position. Behind the dish, he starts slightly open in his stance. Gets tall early out of the crouch. Transfer is short. Gets rid of the ball with a sense of urgency. Top velocity of 73 mph on his throws. Pop times ranged between 1.97 to 2.06.

6-foot-1, 175-pound thinner, athletic body frame. From the mound he uses simple mechanics, with a straight up and down leg kick, in a delivery in which he doesn’t use much effort. He lands slightly closed at foot strike, finishing with his momentum carrying toward home plate. He throws with a clean arm action, using quick arm speed, through a ¾ slot. His fastball has cutting action at times thrown between 72-75 mph. His curveball had gradual break to it, with good depth at 63-65 mph. He also showcased a changeup between 68-70 mph. Left-handed hitter starts from an open stance, using a leg kick to get himself squared back up to even before he swings. He uses a fluid hands back to shoulder load, swinging with a more level bat path through the zone, and finishes with a two-handed follow through. He showed strength, with the ability to use both sides of the field during his round of batting practice. He recorded a top exit velocity of 70 mph and ran an 8.00 60-yard dash. Behind the plate he displays some quickness in transfer while popping between 2.12 and 2.25. Topped out at 70 mph on throws down to second base.
