Cadden

Physical: Athletic 5-foot-10, 165lb frame with present two-way abilities. Sub-7.00 runner (6.97 best) with room to continue adding strength. 

Offensively: LHH - Open, coiled start with the hands showing slight rhythm on the shoulder to begin; utilized a short lift and replace stride out towards the pitcher allowing for good direction at launch through a controlled/flat path. Easy line drive approach out through the middle of the field, hitting the ball hard where it was pitched (57% line drive rate via Trackman) with a whippy barrel at impact that could manipulate to different zones. Worked up to a T87 mph bat-exit velocity on his best swing to the RCF gap showcasing a top of the order type profile that can accrue some extra-base hits with minimal swing/miss. 

Defensively: The third baseman featured a wide, ready approach at the fielding window with adequate footwork/pace and downward tilt in the chest angle when funneling. Clean exchange giving way to a lengthy, accurate high ¾ slot on the front side (80 mph arm, slight carry) adding feel for plays on the run in space. 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with a short side rocker and consistent, gradual pace to the delivery. Got into footstrike with good rotational tempo and the arm worked loosely through a high ¾ slot, entering the zone at 79-81 mph with big time arm-side run. Mixed a hard-sweeping 71-73 mph SL with horizontal shape and moderate spin numbers (1950 average rpms) and later countered with an adequate 68-71 mph CH out of the same slot.
