Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
Still developing consistency from outing to outing he was the grade-A version of himself. When he’s “on” he is electric with a fastball that sits in the mid-90s and will touch 97. At other times he can be rather pedestrian. His 82-84 mph slider which is shaped and thrown more as a power slurve can be elite. At other times and at lower velocity it is below average. Oozing physical projection as 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, King has a higher than average ceiling for a college junior. At the end of the day the draft rewards tools and talent, and it also rewards consistency and performance. King has the former, but the latter is still a work in progress. At present he’s likely an early Day Three pick, but with continued development and consistency Day Two is not out of the question.

5-foot-10, 140-pound right-handed hitter starts from an open stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to get back to square. Showcased a line drive approach with an ability to use all fields while registering a bat exit velocity of 74 mph. Ran an 8.15 60-yard dash and displayed present 73 mph arm strength across the diamond from third base. Overall skill set will benefit from additional strength gains through physical maturity.
