Bat is top tool. Physical frame with impressive strength and above average bat speed through the zone. Swings with intent and does damage when he connects. BP is loud, generating easy gap pop with present pull side power. At first base he has the frame for the spot with feel for the position. Ball skills are solid for class and he covers more ground than most.
Stood out for his raw power in BP. Uses a leg kick for timing/energy with lower half. Hands stay simple throughout loading sequence and he launches from a balanced setup. Path has natural loft with obvious strength at contact. Landed on balls in BP, showing easy gap pop and present loft power to pull side. Middle of the lineup type bat. At first base he has a solid skill set across the board. Frame plays at the spot and he has feel around the bag. Glove is reliable.

A physical presence on the mound. The right-hander has an uptempo delivery that requires regular effort. Uses long arm action with developing speed/strength through an over the top slot. Fastball will show regular cut as it crosses the zone at 73-75 mph. Spins a near 12/6 breaking ball with gradual action at 61-63 mph. The better of his two secondary offering on this day was the changeup. The pitch has a fastball look out of the hands with cut and sink at 64-65 mph. At third base he plays low, fielding the ball out in front of his body. Hands are soft and glove is reliable. Arm strength will need to improve moving forward to play the spot at the next level. Moving over to the other side of the infield he moves well off the bag with fluidity to his feet. Ball skills play better at first base. Looks to have a higher ceiling at first base as a defender presently. A physical bat that has an intent driven swing. Strength and bat speed are both apparent through the zone on a level path. Generates easy gap pop with power on its way. Run producer type bat that likely finds a home in the middle of a lineup.
6-foot-2, 195-pound strong, athletic frame. On the mound Urbanski showed off a quick arm while working through a high-¾ slot. Delivery requires little effort and goes with a three-pitch mix with his fastball sitting 70-73 mph. The pitch showed substantial cut at times. His best off speed pitch is his changeup that has late fade to it at 62-64 mph. Spins an 11/5 shaped breaking ball that showed signs of sharpness at 61-62 mph. Starts open at the plate and uses a toe turn to initiate his lower half. Goes with a bat tip to get his upper half involved. Upper half and lower half movements are efficient in loading sequence but need to sync them up more consistently, as he has a tendency to get disconnected. Showed above average strength through contact and worked well to the opposite field. A first baseman that plays well off the bag. Footwork is adequate and glove skills are developing.
