Riley Poston: OF/1B, (2022) Lancaster, OH. 5-foot-11, 170-pound athletic frame. During batting practice, the left-handed hitter recorded an exit velocity of 85 mph. Begins in an open crouched stance with a smooth quick load, then uses a controlled stride. Had above average bat speed. Athletic from the outfield, he made throws to the infield at velocities up to 62 mph; shows sure hands, a developing exchange, and athletic developing feet. Fields the ball one hand, movements laterally were athletic. Clocked a 60 time of 7.32 at the event.
6/29/20
Hit:Left-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. One of the top bats in his group. Very fast rotator (24gs) with heavy hands through contact. Batspeed is also impressive at 72mph. Got into more than his fair share of balls in BP. High follow bat. Doubled into pull side gap in game. Power:Easy gap pop. Offensive Projection:Run producer. Max BP Exit Velocity:88 mph Max BP Distance: 330 ft Field:Good athlete that plays with an uptempo throughout process. Solid defender out there with feel for his feet and hands. Throw:Present accuracy with developing strength. Defensive Projection: LF/CF.
6/11/19
Body type: 5-foot-11, 170-pound thin and athletic frame.

Hit: Downhill bat path that works to all fields. Stays inside the baseball well.
Power: Line drive guy right now. More to come as he develops.
Offensive projection: To be determined. Field: In the outfield he plays with quick feet and maintains momentum through fielding. Soft hands with solid ball skills. Throw: 3/4 lefty with slinging arm action. Should see more velocity down the road. Defensive Projection: LF/CF.

Offensive Projection: TBD for now.
Run: 7.56 seconds 60-yard. Field: Playable actions defensively as he fielded the baseball in the outfield. Footwork is developing as he improves quickness and angles taken as he approaches the ball.

6/28/17 A left-handed bat that starts in a tall, slightly closed setup. Uses a short stride for energy while keeping hands rhythmic as they move to launch.

Was at his best when he worked to the middle of the field. Flashed gap potential. From the outfield he uses athletic, aggressive footwork approaching the baseball. Plays through the ball with confidence on his glove foot side. Throws were on the target for the most part with carry. From the outfield he looks fluid approaching the baseball.
