Game Performance

Notes

Comments

6/14/22

Physical: Upside athlete in a projectable 6-foot-4, 185lb frame. 6.45 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, even stance, as the hands operated loosely at the shoulder to begin. Utilized a leg-kick stride to initiate the swing through a connected, flat path with some lift towards the finish. Produced an easy burst off the barrel to the middle-pull side gap, up into the T95 mph exit velocity range (91 mph AVG). Middle of the order skill set with premium bat-speed and more to come approach wise.

Defensively: The outfielder displayed a full tree of routes, rounding the ball with length over the front side, using a soft glove-hand to corral. Shifted the hips to the target and delivered a lively 87 mph arm-strength from his position (H ¾ slot).

2/12/22

Physical: 6-foot-4, 185 pounds; Long, proportional build. 6.81 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Extended take back of the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a downward swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 91 MPH via Trackman.

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. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 82 MPH.
