Faulcon

Physical: Strong/durable 6-foot, 185lb frame with obvious projectability, athleticism in multiple phases. Projects the best on the mound, running a 7.63 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Open, slightly-bent stance with slow rotating hands at the shoulder to begin; utilized a direct lift and replace stride to the target, connecting and launching through a flat path into the hitting zone. Slight lift after contact towards a high finish allowing for big-time loft in the approach (86% fly ball rate via Trackman). Found success backspinning the baseball up to a T306 foot distance, adding an 84 mph bat-exit velocity. Consistent bat-speed up into the low to mid 70’s points towards more available in other categories with the chance to hit for extra-bases. 

Defensively: The third baseman showed a wide position fielding with semi soft hands into the beltline, adequate pace and a loud 90 mph arm strength on the release with easy carry to the target at head height. Got the feet in line to the target with clean shuffles, creating momentum and releasing accurately from H ¾. 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the far left side of the rubber with advanced arm talent and explosive actions down the slope. Slow side rocker into a fast leg lift to a high position and drop/drive out towards the target. Held the top of the zone with carry above the belt, spinning it up to 2222pms (83-87, T88 mph FB; 42% zone rate via Trackman). Mixed a strikeout 70-72 mph CB when commanded, missing barrels with big 11/5 tilt and late depth. Would later add a 76-77 mph CH with killed spin at 1570rpms (9+ inches of HM).

Physical:  6’0 180 lb wiry frame moves well and loose flowing arms and explosive legs and hips.

Pitching: Electric arm, who works quickly and with max intent. FB sits 87-88 topping at 89 with a good spin rate topping at 2369 RPMs. Accompanied by a CB 69-72 mph (2319 spin).

Offensively: A strong and athletic hitter who has a pullside approach. Pre swing has a stop and go movement before firing the hands to the ball. Shows strength by producing an 87 mph exit velocity.

Defensively: Playing 3B, he keeps a low center of gravity and keeps balls in the center of his body before gathering himself and making a strong throw across the diamond at 89 mph

6-foot, 170-pound primary pitcher showed why his is regarded as one of the top prospects statewide in his class. The righty sat 85-87 while topping at 88 mph from a high 3/4 arm slot with an athletic, repeatable delivery. A curveball at 65-66 shows 11/5 shape and is commanded for strikes. A changeup at 76-80 is an above average pitch thrown with good sell and out of the same window as the fastball. The right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and uses a lift-and-replace stride to begin. Showcased present power with an ability to create consistent back spin. Registered a bat exit velocity of 80 mph and ran a 7.39 60-yard dash. The two-way prospect also impressed behind the plate with 79 mph arm strength out of the crouch and pop times of 1.98-2.05.

5-foot-9, 160-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed the ability to create some backspin with the potential for future power. Barrel control is affected at times with some lower half glide. Registered a bat exit velocity of 81 mph and ran a 7.87 60-yard dash. Showcased advanced defensive abilities behind the plate with pop times of 2.15-2.28 on throws of 73 mph out of the crouch. The two-way prospect also showed advanced abilities on the mound sitting 81-84 from an over-the-top arm slot with a long, whippy arm action. Curveball showed tight 11/5 rotation and two-plane break at 64-69. Changeup displayed small arm-side run at 75-76.
