Garrett
Laverty

5-foot-5, 120 pounds, average athletic build and proportions. Some slope in the shoulders, room to fill out in the upper and lower halves. Ran a 7.51 sixty yard dash. A right-handed hitter, Laverty has loose hands and feet that set a little more than shoulder width apart, from an even stance. Heavy pull approach during batting practice. Hands work from the chest. Can be late at time with the moving parts to his swing and will need to work on staying balanced. The bat path can get long and uphill, raising questions about his ability to hit velocity. Registered a tee exit velocity at 66 MPH. Worked out as an outfielder. Average actions defensively, getting stiff during the tracking phase before looking more fluid while making play on the ball. Gets body into throws on the crow hop. Quick arm circle with throws from a  ¾ slot. Throws clocked up to 65 MPH. Also a right-handed pitcher, works as a true sidearm guy, giving some appeal as a potential matchup reliever down the road. Slight coil from a simple, quick delivery. Average stride length. Works with a two pitch mix, going fastball-slider. The fastball sat between 58-61 MPH. Pretty true but showed some feel for locating it. The slider came in at 54-58 MPH. Still developing feel for the spin and break. Should develop into a solid offering.
