Conner Palmer, Collierville (TN), 2026 Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body: 6-4, 220-pounds. Imposing build with present strength and developed shoulders. Delivery: Angled setup on rubber with the left foot in front of rubber. Big step sideways is followed by jerky leg lift where the upper body closes off slightly at the top. Swinging leg stride leads to an incosistent motion with the back leg. Arm Action: RH. Long looping arm action leads to a high arm slot. With good pronation on follow through. There is lots of room to clean up arm action which will lead to better velocity. FB: T77, 75-76 mph. FB has good spin with great ride that will get up on hitters. More velocity in the tank with cleaner mechanics. T2082, 1960 average rpm. CB: 64-65 mph. Breaking ball at present is average pitch, not particually dangerous. Needs to spin it better for it to become effective T1390, 1353 average rpm. CH: 64-70 mph. CH has good speed differential, effectiveness is in its use as a straight change down in the zone. More side spin will be beneficial. T1457, 1419 average rpm. ATH: 8.07 runner in the 60. 1.81 in the 10 yard split.

Conner Palmer, Collierville (TN), 2026 Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body: 6-4, 220-pounds. Imposing build with present strength and developed shoulders. Hit: RHH. Straightforward power driven setup with hands held shoulder height. Slight load of scap and into his back knee. Leg lift into a forward moving stride. Hands leak before foot-plant, causing him to lose some initial power. As he rotates, he does a good job of sinking into the legs with a strong finish. Short path to ball, while keeping the barrell through the zone well. Looks to elevate the ball in the gaps. Showed ability to backspin the baseball in the air as well with low line drives. More power to come with added strength and hand seperation. 66.6 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 80.3 mph. 263' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-70 mph. ATH: 8.07 runner in the 60. 1.81 in the 10 yard split.
