Physical: Lean, highly athletic 5-foot-8, 150lb frame with more to come. 6.61 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Crouched, slightly open stance, as the hands work with circular rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through an on-plane, lifted path into the hitting zone. Above-average feel for the barrel with a tight turn that handled velocity against top arms. Landed on the barrel at a 71% rate and recorded a T89 mph exit velocity via Trackman. Top of the order profile.

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured a hop in the ready-step and broke off the route with some explosiveness in either direction. A tall, quiet glove-hand set up out in front, gathering on the shuffle, up to an 86 mph arm-strength across the dirt (H ¾ slot). Made the play on the run from a lower angle.

Physical: Twitchy, athletic 5-foot-8, 150lb frame. 6.49 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, slightly open stance with plenty of early rhythm in the lower-half; hands work just above the shoulder to begin. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat, adjustable path into the hitting zone. Plenty of high-end barrel skills, producing consistently vs. top arms at each stop. Sprays the ball around the field with gap-to-gap approach and T89 mph exit. Leadoff type at the next level.

Defensively: The middle infielder delivered a quality round, staying on the toes with increasing pace over the front side. Fielded softly off his left and reached back for a carrying 86 mph arm-strength. Able to change slots and make the play on the run, natural instincts.

Physical: Ultra-lean, athletic 5-foot-8, 130lb frame with lots of projection left. 6.80 runner in the 60-yard dash with natural footspeed. 

Offensively: RHH - Quick rhythm in the hands to start at a wide position/even base in the stance. Utilized an early leg lift stride to initiate the swing through a twitchy, flat path into the hitting zone producing plenty of line drive contact (>30% line drive rate via Trackman) adding a near 275 foot batted ball distance on his best swing. High intent, left centerfield approach during his batting practice round with barrel control while hitting into a stiff/adjustable front side at impact. Posted a T85 mph bat-exit velocity with developing doubles power and will slot into a top of the order role as he matures/adds strength. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop demonstrated active footwork with rangy actions, arriving on time to the baseball with ability to drop step and go get it to his glove hand side. Stayed low with some twitch in either direction, funneling softly inward and releasing quickly from lower ¾ (78 mph arm). Will be able to move to the left side in the next couple years with likeable movements/pace overall.
