1/16/17 - Pop Time: 2.09-2.21, Position Velocity: C-70, Exit Velocity: 82 5-foot-10, 170-pound, LHH hit from the same wider and even stance we saw from him at the Underclass Games with some pre-pitch movement of his hands, cocks his knee before striding and uses a quietening of his hands to get loaded, lower half is very strong and consistent, bat path is steep through the zone but his strength allows him to get through the ball, gets muscly but showed some real pop toward center field. Defensively, showed good hands with solid footwork behind the plate, improved his pop time dramatically from his previous event and has the potential do cut more time off with a little quicker release, arm action is short through a high ¾ slot.
7/26/16 - Home-1st: 4.48, Pop Time: 2.21-2.32, Position Velocity: 68, Exit Velocity: 84 5-foot-9, 145-pound, LHH hits from a fairly wide and slightly open stance, uses a unique knee cock and stride along with a very slight drop of the hands and barrel tilt to get loaded, lower half fires and gives him a little something extra coming into the zone, strong kid can allow himself to get a little stiff but stays mostly flat through the zone and is able to really drive through it, only gets steep on occasion, showed gap-to-gap power potential in BP. Defensively, worked hard behind the plate in game play, showed average hands and footwork with a clean exchange and short arm action but took a while to get rid of the ball, throws through a high ¾ slot were fairly accurate.
