Oscar impressed with both ends of the game, first on the mound where he stands at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds with clean arm action from the left-side. Shows advanced feel for the fastball, locating well and topping out at 79.8mph with a slider that has sweeping actions. His changeup was thrown for strikes with simple downward action at 70-72mph. In the outfield portion of the event, Leah led the way with 85mph arm velocity and was athletic in his fielding motions, keeping his footwork clean and creating momentum through the ball. In the box his left-handed swing has a quick load, with a bat path that generates lots of balls in the air, peaking at a distance of 287 feet.
