Physical: Muscular, athletic 6-foot-3, 195lb build. 8.13 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Spread, wider stance, as the hands started flat and pre-set over the shoulder. Utilized an active leg-kick stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Balanced finish that stays connected to the ground while aggressively turning the belt towards the pull-side of the field. Recorded a T93 mph exit velocity via Trackman with an extra-base hit approach and high barrel %.
Defensively: The primary third baseman showed off some lateral range using longer legs to position around the ball. Fielded from the center of his body and shuffled once to the target, reaching back for a direct arm-stroke at 80 mph across the dirt.
Pitching: RHP. Begins tall from the middle of the mound; slower pace with tall-and-fall down the slope, closing the gap before footstrike with a fast move in the upper-half. The FB ranged 77-81, T82 mph (2042), hard run in on RHH. Mixed a developing 64-66 mph CB with lateral movement.
Physical: Strong, imposing 6-foot-3, 195lb frame. 7.21 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Wider stance that stays in the base while the hands slot comfortably on the shoulder by the neck. Utilized a quick leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a depth-filled, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Produces plenty of extra-base hit contact to the gaps, evidenced by a 326 foot batted ball distance and 50% hard hit rate (92 mph exit velo). Middle of the order type at the next level with rotational strength.
Defensively: The third baseman creates positive angles on the approach, fielding out in front with a soft glove hand that funnels inward to the chest. Shuffled once to the target before a quick trigger from a lengthy H ¾ slot (82 mph) across the diamond.
Pitching: RHP. Starts taller in posture from the middle of the rubber, late bend into the finish from a H ¾ slot, varying success with the FB on this date from 75-78, T81 mph. Mixed a hard-sweeping 69-73 mph SL that clipped 15 inches of HM, feel to throw often.
Physical: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds; Athletic, proportional build. 7.27 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a moderate leg kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 92 MPH via Trackman. Moves well through the upper half with a top hand dominated swing.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while utilizing a quick first step. Hands are soft with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a low 3/4 arm slot. INF - 87 MPH.
Physical: Large, XL 6-foot-3, 185lb frame with strength carried in the actions. 7.29 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Wider, balanced stance as the knees showed slightly bent with loose hand positioning; utilized a toe-tap stride with a barrel tip in the load, initiating the bat head through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Liked to get extended out over the plate producing a lofty approach at a 30% line drive, 30% fly ball rate clip (via Trackman). Notched a T90 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak with middle of the order tendencies in the lower half (consistent, 85 mph average exit). Worked up to a 330 foot batted ball distance with intent to drive the baseball for doubles power to the pull-side gap, showing off good connection in the swing.
Defensively: The third baseman appeared lengthy in the movements at the hot corner, flashing adequate posture from a medium position and working right-left to the baseball at the fielding window. Stood up after fielding, exchanging to a lower ¾ slot on the release across the diamond (slight arm-side run, accurate, 72 mph arm strength). Able to get rid quickly when need be and demonstrated some range to his glove side.
Bryan has a wiry and athletic frame at 6-foot-3, 182-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.53 seconds and recorded an exit velo of 88 MPH. Has a wide and open stance. Weight starts completely shifted onto his backside. Uses a toe tap and leg kick to stay on time. Hands start low and move directly backwards during his load. Slight bat wrap. Gets his hands out, making consistent contact out in front of his body. In the infield, recorded a top velo of 73 MPH. Fields the ball out in front and brings it to his midsection. Uses a glove tap and a shuffle to stay in rhythm when making throws. Long, loose arm action.
