Notes

Comments

8/01/23

Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-9, 180-pound build. 7.53 runner in the 60YD.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, open stance, as the hands start high. Utilized a controlled toe-tap stride that pauses on the backside from a deep load window. Initiated his swing through a flat path with extension through the zone for a T86MPH EV (81 AVG). Featured consistent line-drive barrels during a gap-to-gap approach.

Defensively: The primary C is a quiet receiver from multiple setups. Alternated right-knee down on pop times with a fast transfer/release from a H ¾ slot. Worked up to a 72MPH arm and dipped below 2.10 once at 2.08-2.21. Soft walls when blocking.

6/21/22

Physical: Durable, projectable 5-foot-10, 165lb build. 7.83 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Mature, open stance, as the hands begin loosely and under control from a stronger position to hit. Utilized a leg-hang stride timed up with a barrel-tip to initiate the swing through a flat path towards a two-handed finish on the backside. Slightly taller posture that produced a T81 mph exit velocity via Trackman. Developing gap-to-gap approach.

Defensively: The primary catcher alternated between left-knee down and traditional stances with varying success. Pop times ranged between 2.31-2.43, able to transfer fluidly to the throwing ear and release up to 66 mph from the crouch. 

3/12/22

Physical: Above-average 5-foot-9, 162lb frame with size. 8.05 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Slightly open, balanced stance, as the hands preset in a bow and arrow position at the shoulder. Utilized a leg-hang stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill, lofty path into the hitting zone. Deep tilt in the upper half to get the arms slotted, liked to extend on the ball. Recorded a T82 mph bat-exit velocity for a 250+ foot distance. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a narrow stance from traditional. Pop times ranged between 2.42-2.52, releasing from a quick, lower ¾ slot with run. Worked up to 65 mph at his peak, then showed down angles on blocks.
