3/01/20

Showcased an uber lean 5-foot-3, 115-pound frame with room to add strength as he matures. The primary left-handed pitcher used hip swivel in the delivery to sit 56-57 mph out of a high ¾ arm-slot. Mixed in a 37-38 mph curveball with slow, 1/7 action in the zone and countered with a 44-45 mph changeup thrown with average arm-speed. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, even stance utilizing a leg-kick to initiate a flat barrel path into the hitting zone. Demonstrated a line drive approach, using the middle of the field during batting practice while recording a 68 mph bat-exit velocity. Ran a 5.97 home-to-first. The first baseman displayed average feel around the bag using a moderately low center of gravity and soft glove hand out in front. Registered an accurate 56 mph arm-strength across the diamond out of a high ¾ arm-slot. 

12/30/18

Offensively, the 5-foot, 100-pound primary first basemen initiates his swing from a spread, open stance with his hands high near his head. Showed promising ability to hit pitches low in the zone. Has a longer swing, but it will no doubt get quicker as he continues to develop and add strength. A 55 mph bat exit velocity was recorded, along with a 9.85-60 yard dash.

Defensively, Willochell presented a confident glove hand and the ability to move his feet. While holding runners, he gets off the bag well with solid momentum towards his throwing target at second base. 

On the mound, the left-hander throws out of a mid 3/4 arm slot. Showed good mound presence and mechanics for his age. His FB sat 45-47 with natural arm side action. His CB sat 37-38 mph with 3/8 shape. His CH sat 41-43 with some action at the plate.
