Notes

Comments

2/05/23

Physical: 6-foot-1, 170 pounds; Lean, wiry build. 6.93 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Loads straight back with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a compact swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 90 MPH via Trackman. Fluid swing with plus feel for the barrel.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands work through the ball with a seamless transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot.OF - 85 MPH. Defensive skillset is all there. Fluid athleticism, speed, arm strength. Plus defender in the outfield.


6/12/22

Physical: Athletic 6-foot, 160lb frame with wiry strength. 6.89 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, even stance, as the hands operated loose and well-loaded at the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a lengthy path into the hitting zone. Deep one-handed finish and whippy actions with some acceleration on the front side. Posted a T88 mph bat-exit velocity and paired 70% sweet spot rate; accurate round. 

Defensively: The outfielder moved around swiftly in either direction with body control present. Soft glove hand off the left side and repeated 82 mph arm-strength positionally.

2/13/22

Physical: Highly athletic 6-foot, 160lb frame with efficient movements in multiple phases. 7.01 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance with easy, repeatable habits as the hands operated simply at the shoulder. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through an explosive, flat path into the hitting zone. Barrel finder that created space in the posture, able to get extended on the ball for middle/pull-side success. Recorded a 92 mph bat-exit velocity en route to consistent line-drives in the approach and notched a 78 mph peak bat-speed, which were both impressive given his size. A bat and player to follow with an impact skillset. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder flashed some centerfield characteristics with a quick first step and some twitch in either direction. Worked laterally before driving the backside and getting downhill. A soft glove hand could give or push through the ball out in front and an accurate 85 mph arm-strength carried to the plate.
