Notes

Comments

2/12/22

Physical: 5-foot-9, 155 pounds; Wiry, athletic build. 7.06 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; flat bat to start. Lifts hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a compact 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 an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 85 MPH.

2/27/21

Physical: 5’9 155lb OF/RHP ran a 7.39 laser timed 60-yard dash. The undersized frame has solid fundamentals and room for continued development.

Offensively: Starts in a narrow stance as his hands pump in rhythm before working down through the baseball. Maintains good body control throughout the entire swing allowing for consistency.

Defensively: Approaches the ball with a good pace and uses athleticism to allow momentum to flow through the catch. Maximizes his power by crow hopping and throwing with extreme intent.

Pitching. Stay slow and smooth through the windup and then really kicks it into gear as he strides and begins his forward movement. Arm works short and quick.


6/15/20

Physical: Lean and athletic, 5-foot-9, 145-pound frame with some feel for his body. 7.57 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Bent, open stance with comfortability in the setup, hands start at the ear and move slightly back along with a short lift-and-replace stride as the timing mechanism. The swing is short and quick into the hitting zone, working on a flat barrel path through the point of contact towards the finish. Peppered line drives through the middle of the field while hitting into a stiff front side during batting practice with a feel for the hands. Recorded an 82 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman. 

Defensively: Demonstrated a low center of gravity with a quick first step and active feet that worked to the baseball and through it, fields the ball on the side of his body with above-average feel in the outfield. Moderate on the takeaway and short out in front on accurate throws out of a workable, high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 77 MPH. 

Pitching: RHP utilized a quick, compact rhythm on the bump showing off repeatability on all pitches.  The righty sat 76-79 mph on the FB out of a short, high ¾ arm-slot, worked a 66-68 mph CB with short, late break across an 11/5 window, countered with a 70-71 mph CH at near fastball arm-speed allowing for deception.

3/01/20

5-foot-8, 140-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and and uses a lift-and-replace stride to begin. Showcased a direct swing path with a line drive approach. Registered a bat exit velocity of 80 mph and ran a 7.34 60-yard dash. Flashed athletic defensive actions while playing through the baseball with above average 84 mph arm strength to home plate. The righty sat 78-80 from a high 3/4 arm slot on the mound with a repeatable delivery and a quick arm. Curveball at 68-70 showed a high spin rate with 11/5 rotation. Straight changeup at 71-74 is thrown at fastball arm speed.

12/28/19

5-foot-8, 130-pound two-way prospect continues to show progress in his development. The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Showcased a gap-to-gap, line drive approach with solid feel for the barrel. Registered a bat exit velocity of 75 mph and ran a 7.50 60-yard dash. Displayed athletic defensive actions while playing through the ball routinely. Registered 78 mph arm strength from the outfield with above average straight line carry.

3/02/19

5-foot-7, 125-pound right-handed hitter starts with a slightly-open stance and utilizes a leg-lift to initiate his swing. Showcased a short, quick swing that led to consistent 73 mph barrels to both gaps. Displayed advanced actions in the outfield during defensive evaluations while registering an impressive 79 mph arm-strength from his position. Ran a 7.87 60-yard dash. Right-handed pitcher sat 73-75 mph out of a repeatable, high 3/4 delivery. His two-plane, 11/5 curveball flashed swing and miss ability at 63-65 mph. Showed feel for a 68-70 mph changeup that featured sink and arm-side-run.
