Sixty-Yard Dash: 7.56

5-foot-10, 155 pounds, average athletic build and proportions. Room to add upper body strength in the coming years. Ran a 7.79 sixty yard dash. A right-handed hitter, his feet set about shoulder width apart. Short rocking action back as he begins to transfer weight to the back foot, while the hands work at shoulder height. Solid hip rotation. At times the bat path can get lofty, which will create some swing and miss. Some pop in the bat, showing an ability to hit to the pull side gap during batting practice. Will need to prove the hit tool against velocity. Posted an exit velocity at 70 MPH. As an outfielder, throws from a ¾ slot, and the arm was clocked up to 78 MPH. Slight crank-like movement in the arm action. Average athletic actions defensively. Profiles best as a corner outfielder. Also a right-handed pitcher, the hands start at the belt and stay low. Good stride length, Fosters shows an ability to get downhill on his pitches. Long arm swing working from a ¾ slot, shows ball on the backside, minor coil of the torso. Foster showed a four and two seam fastball, with the two seamer generating sink. Both pitches ran between 73-75 MPH. The curveball sat between 64-67 MPH, showing good 12/6 shape and bite, potential to be a plus offering down the road. The changeup is firm and sat 67-68 MPH, room for improvement as he hits the high school level. A promising pitcher to keep tabs on as he enters the high school phase of his development.
