A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
6-foot-4, 185 pounds, lanky but strong, long-limbed but coordinated. Desousa is still filling out with room to continue doing so, as there is still wiriness to his frame. His skill set brings a combination of present ability with imagination of what he might be down the road as he continues to mature physically. Ran a 6.99 sixty yard dash. In the box, he stands mostly even and transfer weight well with an easy one hand finish. Barrelled plenty of balls up during batting practice and in game action, where he homered and doubled. Rips through the point of contact with hip rotation. The hands are quick and loose, starting right above the shoulder before loading down slightly below them. His tee exit velocity was measured at 90 MPH. Defensively, Desousa has the athleticism and tools to settle into a corner outfield spot and provide above average defense. His arm was clocked up to 80 MPH, free and easy arm action from a ¾ slot. Gets body into the throw with fluid crow hops. Long strides help him chew up ground out there. Movements are natural, and continuing to hone his defensive reads could help him profile as a plus defender there at the college level. No doubt Division I talent that is still uncommitted in the 2019 class, should be on recruiting calendars this summer.

6-foot-4, 185-pound, long, lengthy, athletic frame. The shoulders are sloped, has plenty of room to fill out. The hands have strength, shows to have some fast twitch actions to him. A left-handed hitting corner infielder, is athletic enough to be able to play some left field at the next level. The top tool is his bat, is balanced throughout. The stance is wider than shoulder width, front foot slightly open, hands are loose set even at shoulder height. For timing has a controlled, high leg kick, gets the weight back, needs to get front down sooner, will help keeping weight back and will keep him on time. The swing is level to up, looks to spray it to all fields, showed to have enough pop to beat the outfielders. The tee exit velocity was 87 mph, with a ton more in there, and ran a 7.29 sixty, runs ok for a big kid. In game swings were good, went 4-8 with a double and collected a couple RBI. Defensively, works well off the bag at first, feet are advanced in starting the double play. The arm action is short and quick, clocked at 80 across the diamond. Good looking left-handed hitter, should be off the board fairly quick.

6-foot-4, 185-pound, long and lengthy athletic frame, has fast twitch actions to him. A left-handed hitter, showed very well in batting practice. The swing has leverage to it, big time power potential, currently has gap juice, with strength and physical maturation, will turn into a legit power threat. The stance is balanced throughout, feet are in line, slightly wider than shoulder width, hands are loose and get just below shoulder height. For timing, starts with more weight on the backside, shifts weight back for his pre pitch load, uses a small controlled leg kick, gains ground with the stride. The swing is level to up, stays through it really well, rolls hands late and finishes high. The barrel stays in the zone a long time, has whip out front to it. Defensively, plays first, solid target to throw to, gets off the bag quick, hands are soft, fields the ball out front. The footwork around the bag is smooth, feet get inline on all throws. The arm action is clean, long path, clocked at 77 mph, has a ton more in there. Big time prospect for me, athletic enough and arm is good enough to go to outfield eventually.
