Connor Ray, Grapevine (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/3B LHH/INF…will add needed strength. Will be steady defender in the infield. Like the athleticism. Solid approach to hit with couple of opportunities. Solid, steady player with nice upside.
Body: 5-10, 161-pounds. Nice build/frame to add needed strength. Solid build in future.
Hit: LHH. Wide base, short stride. Solid position to hit. Linear movement to back foot, nice job of using lower 1/2 in swing. Solid rotation acceleration. Decent posture in swing, can be little more upright, hitting in firm front leg. Barrel/hands in solid position to hit. Small hand trigger to load, simple movement that works. Nice path in zone with hands/barrel, must firm controlling barrel in zone, dumps barrel occasionally on outer 1/2 pitches. 69.4 mph bat speed with 17 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 84.0 mph. 343' max distance. Overall nice approach to hit couple of opportunities for adjustments. Nice job of staying within his abilities. Upside to hit ability.
Arm: RH. INF-78 mph. Arm works, expect raw arm speed and arm strength to increase with added strength. Would also recommend starting long toss program to increase arm strength.
Defense: Hands work well fielding baseball, nice job of fielding ball out front. Feet work getting body to baseball, expect foot quickness/speed to improve with added strength. Can improve playing thru baseball with feet.
ATH: 7.33 runner in the 60. 1.80 and 4.10 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, moves well. Will improve with added strength physically in future.
