Notes

Comments

6/12/22

Physical: Compact, athletic 5-foot-10, 180lb frame. 6.89 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, upright stance from an even start. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate a tight turn through a flat path into the hitting zone. Taller two-handed finish that produced a T89 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak. Accurate barrel able to match plane early out of the hand, recorded a 60% sweet spot with gap to gap approach. 

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated positional flexibility around the field. Quality reads off the bat in either direction with banana routes available in the arsenal. Posted a T84 mph arm-strength out of a H ¾ slot.

2/12/22

Physical: 5-foot-10, 180 pounds; Muscular, proportional build. 6.89 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Extended take back of the hands with a toe-tap for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a high finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 89 MPH via Trackman. Quick hands create a fast barrel through the zone.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are off to the side with a seamless transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 83 MPH.

Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Minimal leg lift with shoulders above the hips. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Short take back while arm stays in line with 2B; high 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 81 MPH, while sitting 79-81 MPH; straight action. CB: 62-64 MPH; late action. ;CH: 66-68 MPH; fading action.

6/15/21

Physical: Strong, high-waisted 5-foot-10, 180lb frame with athletic movements. 6.90 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, wide stance with the hands showing rhythm, bouncing off the shoulder to start. Utilized a barrel tip on time with a short leg-lift allowing the bat head to drive through a short, direct/flat path into the hitting zone. Natural line-drive hitter and top of the order approach, staying inside the baseball up the middle for base hits (33% line drive rate / 44% fly ball rate via Trackman). Worked his way up to a T89 mph bat-exit velocity and notched a peak of 300+ foot batted ball distance with occasional doubles PWR to pull. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder featured an up tempo approach from a high postured attack. Kept the glove hand moderately low to the ground, reaching down and funneling inward, releasing with quickness from a shorter, high ¾ slot with fluidity on the front-side (86 mph arm). Ability to handle at least two of the three OF positions showing a good ceiling on both sides of the ball.

2/23/20

Showcased a lean and athletic 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame with feel for his body and some physicality in his actions. The right-handed hitter begins with a crouched, even stance utilizing a lift-and-replace stride to initiate a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Compact setup allowed for an athletic lower half to drive through the baseball yielding occasional pull-side lift. Displayed feel for the barrel during batting practice spraying line drives to all fields, evidenced by an 84 mph bat-exit velocity. Recorded a 6.94 60-yard dash time. The primary outfielder featured active feet that worked well through the ball taking advantageous routes towards the target. Notched a solid and accurate 78 mph arm-strength from his position out of a high ¾ arm-slot.

3/24/19

5-foot-9, 150-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Stays inside the baseball well and showed a middle of the field approach with a solid feel for the barrel. Registered a 79 mph bat exit velocity and ran an event best 7.11 60-yard dash. Flashed and event best 81 mph arm strength with solid carry from his outfield position.
