Physical/Hitting/Defense: Weaver jumped onto my radar as a freshman as he was the starting SS for the Davis Darts in 2023 and had a big freshman year as a 15 year old in hitting .363 in 116 PA’s as a sophomore the physically put together corner bat hit .356 with 7 2B’s, a 3B and a HR. The swing plane finishes through contact into a complete two handed finish and stays through the ball. Made loud contact on 2-3 occasions and drove balls hard to the gaps, only to be run down, but put good swings and AB’s together.
Pitching: the arm at this point is a tad ahead of the bat as Weaver led the state at all levels with a 10-1 record on the mound and had one shy of half of his team’s wins on the mound this past spring. The arm speed as well as strength has taken a leap forward into the 87-90 range and sits 88 with finish and carry through the zone. The CB shows TQ shape and tilt with late hard spinning depth to get swing and misses off the plate to RHH’s and can back foot LHH’s in getting over the top swing and misses. With a fully developed frame and build, the upside is all about an added 10 Lbs and the strength that will come with it, as once he is fully leaned up and has his man strength, we are looking at a 90-93 arm in the not too distant future. A mid-major arm that can make an impact right away with his K throwing ability and tenaciousness and competitive streak on the mound to collect wins and beat you at all costs.
