Physical: Advanced, projectable 6-foot-5, 210lb frame with ATH. 7.25 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, shoulder-width stance, as the hands showed a subtle tip before launching through an uphill path into the hitting zone. Controlled the body and stretched from the middle, creating a short, violent move to initiate the swing into the hitting zone. Showed off a two-handed finish that extended plane on the backside, able to drive pitches middle-in off the LCF wall for extra-bases. Produced a T95 mph exit velocity during his round, leading the way with a 55% line drive rate. 

Defensively: The backstop featured alternated stances on the receive between traditional and left knee down; pocket awareness. Pop times ranged between 2.01-2.10, grabbing a 77 mph arm-strength along the way from a power H ¾ slot. Clean transfer, pre-shifts the base to get planted more successfully, confident thrower.

Physical: Advanced, athletic 6-foot-3, 200lb frame with strength. 7.20 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Crouched, slightly open stance with the weight starting on the toes. Utilized a toe-drag to initiate the swing through a fluid, semi-vertical path into the hitting zone. Lifted well in the approach with ability to hit behind the ball, posting a 46% line drive, 36% fly ball rate split (via Trackman). Displayed good extension on the front-side, phasing into a stiff lead leg in order to maintain direction at the plate. Produced a T92 mph bat-exit velocity on his best bullet, notching a 316 foot distance for doubles power. 

Defensively: The primary backstop showcased a wider, flexible left knee-down receive, working to a kickstand at times (soft glove hand). Pop times ranged from 2.13-2.19 with clean pre-catch rhythm in the lower half. Lined the hips/shoulders up before getting rid with some juice out of H ¾ slot (77 mph arm, accurate to arm-side).

Physical: Projectable/athletic 6-foot-2, 190lb frame with strong/sturdy movements. 7.20 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, slightly bent operation as the hands started high in the stance. Utilized a toe drag backward before reaching out towards the pitcher, connecting to the ground at a wide attack and initiating through a flat path into the hitting zone. Hit into an adjustable front side at the front of the plate while staying behind the baseball in the posture, yielding strong extension/leverage during impactful swings. Notched a T92 mph bat-exit velocity pointing towards XBH power to the pull-side gap, en route to an impressive 55% line drive rate via Trackman. Able to manipulate the barrel and go down and get the low pitch, matching pitch plane regardless of quadrant and hit for some AVG too down the road. Mature middle of the field/pull-side approach. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured above-average defensive actions receiving quietly from traditional using a soft/subtle glove hand. Pop times ranged from 2.10-2.15 with explosive actions out of the crouch, getting in-line with average exchanges and releasing from a power high ¾ slot (80 mph arm, carry). Actions play and will only further quicken as he matures, blocking well with a big frame creating down chest angles on either side of the dish.

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber, gradually getting to a balanced stack position at an above-average height; slight hip coil and worked down the slope on time into footstrike. Pounded the zone from H ¾ at 80-81 mph with noticeable arm talent, mixing a well commanded 66-68 mph CB (11/5 tilt) for strikes in any count. Strike thrower with length available on the bump.

Physical: Long and physically advanced 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. 7.58 runner in the 60-yard dash.  

Offensively: RHH. Open, backward leaning stance with the barrel pointing at a 45 degree angle at the ear back towards the shoulder. Utilized a deep leg lift stride coupled with a barrel tilt in order to initiate a flat barrel path into the hitting zone with glide to the front side. Showcased advanced strength for his age while finding hard barrels at the front of the plate. Long levers create whip upon impact and with increased bat to ball skills in game should point to a power surge down the line as he matures. Hit into a stiff front side with strength and adjustability in the legs while recording an 86 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball. 

Defensively: The primary backstop showed off a low center of gravity while receiving with a soft glove hand at the catch point and adequate receiving skills. Pop times ranged from 2.22-2.30 with moderate feel for straight line footwork and transfers to the ear. The catch and throw skills will improve as will a long, high ¾ arm-slot he utilizes on the release towards the target. Athletic movements laterally behind the dish helped get around and deaden balls with soft walls over the plate to save free 90’s. C - 74 mph.

6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly-open stance utilizing a leg-lift to initiate his swing. Showcased a feel for the barrel generating backspin evidenced by his 79 mph bat-exit-velocity. Used his length behind the plate to create soft walls while blocking. Recorded 2.28-2.35 pop times on throws of 73 mph from the crouch. Ran a 7.68 60-yard dash.
