Budacki

Physical: Broad-shouldered, athletic frame at 6-foot, 190lbs. 7.91 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Taller, open stance, as the hands started lower in rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a short leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Some barrel-whip out in front producing a line drive approach to the middle/left side of the field. Recorded a T87 mph exit velocity (70% sweet spot) with barrel awareness.

Defensively: The third baseman featured quick actions defensively with a soft glove hand that played down to the ground. Set up on time and shuffled to the target, releasing with moderate effort up to 69 mph across the diamond (H ¾ slot).

Pitching: RHP. Starts from the right tip of the rubber; higher leg swing at the stack creating a slight fall off on the first base side of the mound. Held the zone at 74-77 mph, strikes, and mixed a quality 69-71 mph CB with 11/5 tilt. Added a 70-72 mph CH flashing occasional fade to the arm-side.

Physical: Even proportioned, projectable 5-foot-11, 185lb frame with durability/feel on the bump. 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with a deep side rocker and consistent, moderate pace to the delivery; high leg lift with slight lean over the heel at the top of the stack, driving down the slope with reach back on the takeaway, releasing at a high ¾ slot on the front side. FB entered at 77-79 mph with easy sinker characteristics (1386rpms, 9+ inches HM average via Trackman), missing barrels when low in the zone. Added a short 67-69 mph CB with gradual 11/5 tilt and later countered with more shape on a 68-70 mph SL (5 inches HM, 50% zone rate). Showed feel for a 67-69 mph CH coming out of the same FB slot, appearing mostly straight, but holding the zone at a solid rate.

Physical: Well put-together, proportional 5-foot-11, 180-pound frame with developing strength in the actions. 8.44 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Even, slightly forward leaning stance as the hands started close to ear height. Utilized a short lift and replace stride in order to initiate the bat head through a flat attack and into the hitting zone. Hit into a stiff front side with not a lot extra going on in the movements, which increased consistency at the plate. Recorded an 82 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball with a top batted ball distance of 266 feet. Middle of the field approach and hit mostly hard groundballs during his round (50%). 

Defensively: The third baseman flashed a low center of gravity on the approach with nice timing at the fielding window; good pace after fielding as the ball was in and out of the glove, released from a whippy, high ¾ slot with accuracy on the bag (73 mph arm strength). Solid feel for ranging to the glove side. 

Pitching: RHP - The righty showcased a slow tempo on the bump with a pause at the side rocker, gets set up at a traditional stack position and drives quickly down the mound with solid direction at foot strike. The arm worked through a loose, high ¾ slot with moderate effort. FB ranged from 74-76, T77 mph with good extension and low spin (1490 average) playing extremely well with heaviness down in the zone. Flashed advanced command of a 65-66 mph SL (6.1 inches of horizontal movement) painting the zone at an 80% rate per Trackman Baseball.

5-foot-10, 150-pound primary pitcher sat 71-72 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a long arm motion. Commanded a three pitch mix with a balanced, repeatable delivery. Showcased solid feel for his curveball at 59-62 and a knuckle ball with late tumble at 57-59. Athletic frame has plenty of room to add strength with the potential for significant velocity gains in the coming years.

5-foot-10, 150-pound primary right-handed pitcher sat 67-70 mph from a balanced, high 3/4 delivery. His 56-60 mph curveball displayed 11/5 rotation. Showed command of a 57-59 mph knuckleball. The right-handed hitter starts with a square stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Demonstrated a short, repeatable swing with feel for the barrel during batting practice. Registered a 68 mph bat-exit velocity and recorded a 4.47 home-to-first time. Showcased adequate feel around the bag during defensive evaluations with an accurate 68 mph arm-strength across the infield.
