10/22/17 - Home-1st: 4.53, Position Velocity: OF-81, Exit Velocity: 86 5-foot-8, 160-pound, LHH showed his above average hit tool, going 2-4 w/ 2 walks in game action. Short, stocky frame w/ present lower half strength, some physical projection. Offensively, hits from an open, slightly crouched stance w/ back shoulder hand location. Controlled bat waggle. Stride to open w/ proper load. Simple, repeatable swing. Generates bat speed through the zone. All fields, LD oriented approach. Gap power w/ pull HR power coming as he gains strength. Barrel control, understands the hitter he is w/ patient approach. High offensive baseball IQ, bunted for a hit in game w/ 4.1 down the line. Average runner underway. Defensively, projects as a corner OF. Still learning to trust his fly ball reads. Average arm strength w/ efficient release. Hit tool is a carrying tool, intriguing to see how the rest of the skill-set develops into the spring.
9/17/17 - 5-9, 165 pound OF performed at 2 games I sat on, going 3 for 3 w/ 2 walks. Lefty hitters hits from a slightly open, upright stance w/ back shoulder hand location. Strides to open w/ proper hand load. Still head w/ pitch recognition. Barrel stays in zone for long time w/ bat speed. All fields approach w/ potential for pull power. DNS enough defensively for an eval. Intriguing young hitter.
