Notes

Comments

2/05/23

Physical: 6-foot-2, 210 pounds; Sturdy, athletic build. 7.31 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet narrow; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a moderate leg kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 99 MPH via Trackman. Bat speed averaged 75.6mph via Blast Motion helping to produce an impressive hard hit %.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are out in front while funneling to the hip before transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot.OF - 87 MPH. Fluid actions and throws with intent. Plus outfield velo.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while arm wraps behind the body; standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 86 MPH, while sitting 84-86 MPH; plays up in the zone. CB: 69-70 MPH; late action.  CH: 79-80 MPH; fading action. Plus spin on all three pitches. High spin changeup. Curveball showed tight, late vertical.

2/13/22

Physical: Long-bodied 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame with some two-way appeal. 7.54 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, open stance with the hands playing loosely above the shoulder to start. Utilized a controlled leg-hang to initiate a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Really connected to the ground, which helped set good direction through the zone, as the barrel easily stayed on plane during the swing. Recorded a loud 94 mph bat-exit velocity with a chance to hold down a future role in the middle of the order. Pull-side juice and extra-base hit success when getting extended on the ball.

 Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated a direct route to the ball, fielding off of his left side with a moderate base at the point of attack. Funneled in softly to his chest, set the shoulders, and released with some intent up to an 81 mph arm-strength from his position. Corner OF projection.

Pitching: RHP - The righty started off of the middle of the rubber with a drop step into a medium/high leg-lift above the waist. Featured clean pace in the delivery, getting down the mound with a purpose at release from a H ¾ slot. Shorter arm-swing that allows him to create separation by keeping it back until the last second. The FB held the zone at 82-83 mph with some ride/run characteristics, mixing a sharp, two-plane 67-69 mph CB that flashed late sweep. Countered with a commanded upper-70’s CH killing spin at 1753rpms.

2/13/21

Physical: 6-foot-2, 210LBS. 8.27SEC 60-Yard Dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Big, strong kid. Feet begin shoulder width apart with hands next to ear and in front of shoulder. Hands work slightly down and back during the load, keeping the rear elbow up. Pre sets the rear foot facing slightly in to create some torque between the lower and upper body. Simple up and down stride as making a move towards the pitcher. 

Defensively: From the OF fields ball off the left side of his body and quickly exchanges ball to throwing hand. Utilizes a pro step during the exchange. Long arm swing releasing from a high 3/4 arm slot. 

Pitching: Sets up on the middle of the rubber and squared to home plate. During the rocker step moves to the 1B side of the mound. Leg lift works up to just below the chest line. Hands stay neutral at the chest during the wind up. At glove break hand works back diagonally, working into the arm spiral as it moves forwards towards the target. Releases from a high 3/4 arm slot. Falls off to the left side of the rubber after the delivery.
