Comments

6/13/23

Physical: 6-0, 170 pounds; Athletic, slight build. 7.15 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Loads straight back with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 88 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep step while showing choppy feet. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 79 MPH.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders outside the hips. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; high 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 77 MPH, while sitting 73-76 MPH; arm side run. CB: 64-67 MPH; showed depth.  CH: 66-69 MPH; fading action.

6/14/22

Physical: High-waisted, projectable 5-foot-11, 165lb frame. 7.22 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Upright, even stance, as the hands worked calmly on the shoulder to begin. Utilized a simple lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat path towards a high two-handed finish. Hit behind the ball into a soft front-side, allowing for a line-drive approach with consistent sweet spot percentages (67%). Went backside on occasion with short-to-long actions and posted a T82 mph exit velocity. 

Defensively: The outfielder showcased corner appeal with adequate footwork and a wide base at the fielding window. Accurate glove-hand played low to the ground with a clean exchange and 79 mph arm-strength positionally (H ¾ slot).

Pitching: LHP. Southpaw begins off the left corner of the rubber, stretch-only; developing leg-lift before getting over the front side with the chest at release. The FB ranged 73-76 mph (1447) with hard run, mixing a short mid-60’s SL with varying success.

2/27/22

Physical: Compact, high-waisted 5-foot-10, 160lb frame. 7.37 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: LHH - Upright, hinged stance, as the hands operated in rhythm to begin. Utilized a leg-hang stride to initiate the swing through a flat path towards a two-handed finish on the backside. Taller posture throughout and stayed above the ball, resulting in a line drive approach during his BP round. Middle of the field contact, inside out at times up to a T84 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak. 

Defensively: The outfielder let the ball travel and gained momentum after the touch with a shuffle to the plate. Fielded off his right foot and squared the shoulders to the target, releasing from a H ¾ slot (75 mph arm). Adequate feel for his body in space.

Pitching: LHP - The southpaw featured a compact delivery from the middle of the rubber; balanced, belt high stack and shorter arm-circle. The FB landed at 74-75 mph and mixed a 1/7, 59-60 mph CB with some depth to it. Added a 64-66 mph CH to round out the arsenal, arm-side fade. 

10/30/21

Physical: Strong, projectable 5-foot-10, 150lb frame. 7.39 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: LHH - Balanced, even stance as the hands started lower by the shoulder. Utilized a directional lift and replace stride out towards the pitcher, as the swing worked through a flat path into the hitting zone. Simple, direct actions at the plate with the top hand leading the way. Produced a 46% line drive rate during his round in a gap to gap approach, with success hitting into multiple quadrants. A stiff front-side blocked off properly, gaining good direction with consistent movements. Recorded a T83 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak. 

Defensively: The outfielder began tall and upright with early reads off the bat, driving the chest down slightly over the toes. Fielded off his right side, shifting the hips with fluidity in-line to the target, H ¾ release and shorter arm circle up to a 78 mph arm strength (corner OF projection).

Pitching: LHP - Sets up off the center of the rubber using a side drop-step in the delivery with adequate pace down the slope. Created some hip coil at the stack and landed slightly closed for crossfire from a H ¾ slot. The FB ranged from 72-74, T75 mph with strike throwing abilities to the arm-side. Mixed a short, two-plane 60-61 mph CB with leverage, and added a commanded 64-66 mph CH with advanced fade.


8/24/21

Physical: 5-foot-10, 150 pounds; Broad shouldered, full build. 7.45 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Extended take back of the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 82 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while quick first step. Hands are off to the side with a seamless transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot.  OF - 72 MPH.

Pitching: Thear uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride length while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while effortless with fluidity, while working through a high 3/4 slot. Spins off 3B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 75 MPH, while sitting 72-74 MPH; commands both sides.
