Blayne MacDonald, Keller (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP Will have strong build in future. Like the future bat/power combo, opportunities present for adjustments to increase impact and contact consistency. Solid defender as infielder. Interesting player to watch develop.
Body: 6-1, 186-pounds. Width to shoulders and back, will add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Wide base to start, sinks into back leg with toe tap start. Solid use of lower 1/2 with rotational back foot. Hits into firm front leg with good posture at point of contact. Hands/barrel start in solid position. Moves into slight barrel tip position, this initial movement creates some length to swing coming back out of tip. Would love see more direct path to hit zone with hands/barrel. Shows bat speed is present along with developing bat strength. Little steep coming into baseball, especially up, would like to see ability developed to get more on plane on balls up. Love the upside here. 73.6 mph bat speed with 16 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 82.5 mph. 314' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future, like the upside to power potential. Opportunities present for adjustments with swing. Chance to develop into player who can impact baseball in future.
Arm: RH. INF-79 mph. Arm works well, shows ability to throw from all angles when on the move.
Defense: Moves well to get body into position to field baseball. Breaks down well to field, shows ability to play thru baseball with feet. Hands are solid overall, occasionally lets baseball get deep. Firm ability to hinge at hips/waist to get hands out front to field.
ATH: 7.67 runner in the 60. Slow starter, arm pump across body, head is back running. Pump arms forward, not across body. Develop lean forward with head and shoulders. Run time can improve.
