6/15/21

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-10, 160lb frame with twitchy actions out of a top of the order profile. 6.62 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Utilized a balanced, even stance with the hands pre-set with rhythm at the shoulder. An early leg lift stride allowed the bat head to whip through a flat path into the hitting zone on time, finding hard contact sprayed over the middle of the field during batting practice. Athletic/adjustable movements in the lower half, matching pitch plane in all quadrants of the plate. Best results came to the LCF gap, posting a T90 mph bat-exit velocity with a 50% line drive rate to go along with it (via Trackman). 

Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated easy centerfielder qualities and went and got the baseball in space. Accurate feet and confident routes off the bat, fielding softly off the left foot and corralling inward. Repeatable, high ¾ slot with strength at release (82 mph arm, on target). Good young follow in the class with multiple above-average tools in his game.


7/30/20

Physical: Lean / athletic 5-foot-9, 157-pound frame with a compact build and solid measurables throughout. 6.94 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with slight favoritism towards a bent backside as the hands started idle at the shoulder in the setup. Utilized a controlled leg lift stride while holding into that back right hip on the forward move, minimal head movement throughout the swing allowing for high level bat to ball skills, the hands entered the hitting zone through a flat barrel path generating hard line drive contact all over the field during batting practice. Short time to contact making him a tough out at the plate in game action, hit into a stiff front side with ability to match pitch plane early and often using an athletic lower half. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 84 mph per Trackman Baseball with a maximum batted ball distance of 280 feet / 33.3% line drive rate during his round. Defensively: The primary backstop featured solid receiving skills with a soft glove hand at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.18-2.22 with short and repeatable straight line footwork towards the target, adequate feel for transfers working the arm through a high ¾ arm-slot with a quick / short arm circle on the release. Moved the body well on either side of the plate while blocking, buried the glove early. C - 70 mph

Physical: 5-foot-9, 157 pounds; slender, athletic. 7.16 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH.
