Physical: Mature, stocky 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame. 7.66 runner in the 60YD.

Offensively: RHH. Bent, even stance with upright hands to begin. Utilized a simple toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Hard weight-shift over the front foot and turned the barrel for a T88MPH EV (81 AVG). Featured a consistent line-drive approach towards the middle of the field, up to a 50% sweet spot. 

Defensively: The primary catcher showed developing actions, as pop times ranged in the mid-2.40’s. Replaced the feet with the exchange at mid-line, up to a 68MPH arm-strength. Varied feel for the pocket.

Pitching: RHP. Slower tempo from center of rubber; pitched into the mid-70’s at T77MPH with heavy stuff. 6FT release height that flashed angle, mixing a loose 57-58MPH CB.

Physical: Advanced, imposing 6-foot, 200lb frame. 8.20 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, narrow stance as the feet set closely, as the hands operated with slight rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a stretched lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through an uphill path into the hitting zone towards a two-handed finish on the backside. Recorded a T82 mph bat-exit velocity while living on the barrel for a 38% line drive rate during his round. 

Defensively: The backstop demonstrated developing actions behind the plate. Live arm, but took time to get it going. Pop times ranged between 2.50-2.60 with a 68 mph arm-strength from H ¾ slot. Room to see those measurables swindle down over time.

Pitching: RHP - Momentum gaining pace that tilts downward to the bottom of the zone at release (OTT slot). Mixed 74-75 mph FB with lower spin, two-plane 63-65 mph CB, and hard fading 70-72 mph CH.

Physical: Strong, durable 6-foot, 185lb frame. 8.73 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Upright, narrow stance with some pre pitch rhythm by the ear. Utilized a short leg hang stride to initiate the barrel through a flat path into the hitting zone towards a shallow two-handed finish. Arrived to different quadrants on-time working into a stiff front side, and notched a T76 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak (singles power). Recorded a middle of the field, pull-side approach with some feel for the top hand at the plate. 

Defensively: The catcher displayed a traditional stance in the crouch with adequate actions on the receive. Pop times ranged from 2.58-2.70 with rounded glove hand movements on the transfer to the throwing ear. Released from a H ¾ slot, using mostly the upper half for a 65 mph arm strength. 

Pitching: RHP - The righty set up off the far right side of the rubber turning to a controlled, repeatable operation that attacked north/south in the shoulders. Clean mechanics and strike throwing abilities on a 69-71, T73 mph FB. Mixed a short, lateral 58-59 mph CB and countered with a good 66-68 mph CH (sell, consistent fade, 1680rpms).
