6-foot-2, 170-pound, RHH continued to show off his elite defensive tools, making a couple highlights plays in game.  Tall, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, slightly crouched stance w/ quiet hands into leg kick (occasional toe tap) and short hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone, better bat speed than exit velocity indicates.  Flashed ability to stay back and drive the baseball, appeared to be in better sync than what we saw in the past.  Tools to hit, continues to grow offensively every-time we see him.  Is a guy where it will just click one day.  Projectable pull power.  Stands out as a defender, featuring first step quickness, soft hands, good footwork and projectable carry through target arm strength that allows him to make all the plays of a high-level SS.

8/5/18 - 60: 7.31, Position Velocity: IF: 88, Exit Velocity: 80

SS continued to show elite defensive actions while collecting 3 hits in game, including 2 doubles.  6-2, 170-pounder features a medium, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength throughout.  Super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, slightly crouched stance w/ quiet hands into short shift of weight and mini leg kick.  Generates bat speed through the zone, better bat speed than exit velocity indicates.  Quiet head w/ knack for contact, zero swing and miss on 6 swings.  All fields approach, picked up a couple opposite field hits before pulling a double that one hopped the LF wall.  Projectable pull power, shows ability to drive the baseball at times.  High level defender w/ high-level hands, good feet, plays through the baseball well.  Reliable defender w/ ability to make the routine play as well as the highlight play.  Showed a 5 mile per hour jump in arm strength from the Vanderbilt event in June, was consistent 86-88 on his throws.

6-foot-1, 165-pound, RHH continues to show elite level glove, making difficult plays look routine.  Medium, lean frame w/ some present strength, projectable.  Prototypical middle infielder frame.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into stride and no hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Knack for contact, zero swing and miss on 9 in game swings.  Learning to repeat same swing every time, can get out on his front foot, varying degrees of balance.  Swing works, athletic, just needs reps.  Doubles power.  Projectable average to slightly above average runner.  Defensively, moves well with excellent body control, keeps his legs under him extremely well.  Soft hands w/ easy arm strength.  Above average defensive SS projects to make an impact on the game defensively at the next level.
