Notes

Comments

6/12/22

Physical: Twitchy, projectable 6-foot, 165lb frame with a good run-tool. Posted 6.97 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, open stance, as the hands operated calmly at the shoulder to begin. Utilized a stretched lift and replace stride towards the pitcher, allowing the hands to deliver the barrel through a flat, direct path into the zone. Some rotational parts, leading to a mostly pull-side approach during the round; notched a T95 mph bat-exit velocity, uber-efficient for size, and landed a 327 foot blast on his best swing. 

Defensively: The shortstop arrived on time to the ball with enhanced ability to his left. Stayed compact in the lower half, bending at the waist, and funneled cleanly out in front, releasing up to 72 mph across the diamond. Might slide to the right side eventually, accurate hands.

2/12/22

Physical: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds; Lean, long build. 6.94 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet shoulder width apart; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Loads straight back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a downward swing path with a finish around the back. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 95 MPH via Trackman. Repeatable actions in the swing that could play up in game with frequent barrels.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while covering ground laterally. Hands are soft with a seamless transfer. Moderate arm circle while using various arm slots. INF - 70 MPH. Clean lower half movements and smooth actions throughout

2/07/21

Physical: Long and lean 5-foot-11, 156-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength. 7.29 runner in the 60-yard dash with length in the strides. 

Offensively: RHH - Crouched, slightly backside leaning setup as the hands started flat above the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride in order to initiate the bat head through a flat / slightly negative attack on occasion into the hitting zone. Slightly inside-out approach driving the ball back through the middle of the field with feel for extension. Recorded a 36% line drive rate per Trackman Baseball while getting up to a peak of 86 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice. Featured an impressive 95% on-plane efficiency while showing developing power (21.2 G’s of rotational acceleration according to Blast Motion).

Defensively: The primary middle infielder displayed a low center of gravity while keeping the feet moving on the approach; worked on time to the fielding window with a soft glove hand fielding off of the middle of his body. Adequate feel for pace releasing the ball from an accurate, high ¾ slot across the diamond (66 mph).


7/15/20

Physical: Lean 5-foot-9, 147 pound frame with length in the limbs and room to fill out as he matures. 7.72 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, crouched stance as the hands showed rhythm next to the ear with the barrel pointed over the back. Utilized a controlled move backwards into load position coupled with a toe tap stride to initiate a flat barrel path into the hitting zone. The lower half showed weight shift and hip glide to the front side at impact creating occasional steep attack angles and timing inconsistencies. When staying back, the hands worked well through extension and could lift with a high and deliberate finish towards the back shoulder. Recorded a top bat-exit velocity of 85 mph per Trackman Baseball with a middle/pull-side approach, peppering the LCF gap with consistency. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured adequate footwork arriving on time to the baseball with rhythm in the approach, fielded the ball out in front of his body with a moderately stiff glove hand, smooth transfers and an accurate, high ¾ arm-slot with a medium arm circle across the diamond. INF - 62 mph


2/23/20

Showcased a lean 5-foot-8, 141-pound frame with feel for his body and room to fill out as he matures. The right-handed hitter begins with a wide, even stance utilizing a toe-tap stride to initiate his swing. Displayed a flat barrel path with front-side lean creating occasional ground balls towards the middle of the field. Generated feel for his hands during batting practice while recording a 74 mph bat-exit velocity. Ran a 7.53 60-yard dash. The primary shortstop featured adequate footwork with a low center of gravity and a soft glove hand working out in front yielding accurate 64 mph arm-strength across the diamond out of a high ¾ arm-slot. Made the play on the run with the ability to throw from multiple arm angles on the move. The outfielder demonstrated adequate footwork playing through the ball with regularity allowing for accurate 62 mph arm-strength from his position.
