Physical: Long, uber-projectable 6-foot-1, 155-pound build. 7.93 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Spread/crouched stance with pre-set hands over the shoulder. Utilized a deeper toe-tap stride to initiate his swing through an uphill path into the hitting zone. Whippy barrel that generated a lofty approach to the LCF gap. Recorded a T82MPH EV, up to 299FT and 67% sweet spot. Knows how to get the top of the bat moving quickly.

Defensively: Primary SS featured some rangy parts with quality angle around the ball. A soft glove-hand suctions inward to the chest, maintaining an accurate 82MPH INF arm from H ¾. Handled the play on the run effortlessly.

Pitching: RHP. Was most impressive on the mound; late sink on a 2-seamer that reached 81-82, T83MPH from the stretch-only. Added a wipeout 69-70MPH SL at 2500rpms with hard sweep to the dead zone of hitters. Dominated vs. Team Texas in the playoffs.

Physical: 6-0, 150 pounds; Long, lean build. 8.08 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a late one hand finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 82 MPH via Trackman. Gap to gap approach.

Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; uses prep step while showing active feet. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Short take back while using various arm slots.   INF - 76 MPH. 

Pitching: Uses an arm side setup working primarily from the stretch. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 81 MPH, while sitting 77-79 MPH; arm side run. CB: 68-71 MPH; showed depth.  CH: 73-74 MPH; fading action.

Physical: Wiry, slender 6-foot, 150-pound frame with RTF. 4.60 runner in the 30YD.

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, slightly bent stance, as the hands position wrapped to begin. Utilized a slower leg-hang stride with weight shift to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Recorded a T81MPH EV during a gap-to-gap approach; 39% FB rate, up to 286FT.

Defensively: The primary shortstop looks the part of a future MIF. Lanky, but creates an angle across the diamond. Fielded inside/outside body and changed release (75MPH arm).

Pitching: RHP. Works out of the stretch-only. Clean extension over the toes with ability to repeat H ¾ slot. FB showed 75-77MPH, hard ASR, mixing a 68-70MPH SL and killed 72-73 CH.

Physical: Tall, developing 5-foot-11, 135lb frame. 8.13 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, even stance with some hinge out over the plate. Utilized a calm hand-set and leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat, on-plane path through the hitting zone. Simple mechanics, which produced an accurate barrel to all parts of the field. Will continue improving T74 mph exit velocity as strength comes. 

Defensively: The middle infield played with above-average confidence at shortstop, gaining ground on the ball with longer strides. Feel to set up on time and delivered a whippy 74 mph arm-strength across the dirt from a ¾ slot.

Pitching: RHP. Begins from the stretch-only off the far right side. Starts slightly offset and unwinds down the slope back to even, creating an interesting angle on the breaking ball. Held 71-75 mph with command to arm-side, mixing a two-plane mid-60’s CB for strikes at 2348 rpms.

Physical: Longer, athletic 5-foot-9, 130lb frame. 8.40 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, shoulder width stance, as the hands operated pre-set at the ear to begin. Utilized a leg-hang stride that hovered into the land, initiating his swing through a slightly uphill path towards an on-plane finish. Demonstrated some barrel-lag towards the middle of the field and a 73 mph bat-exit velocity. 

Defensively: The middle infielder maneuvered smoothly to the touch, playing light on the feet and showing range to his glove-hand side. Accurate thrower from a H ¾ slot, could change angles (73 mph).

Pitching: RHP - Started from the stretch-only, finding a balance point before driving downward with some tilt to the bottom of the zone. FB ranged from 70-72 mph with carry/run, mixing short, two-plane mid-60’s CB. Fading 66-68 mph CH rounds out the arsenal.
