Morabito

VA/DC Scout Blog

Thin athletic 5-foot-11 frame. Wider square stance, simple lift to stride, and finishes on line. Hands make a small load back to separation before a level swing path through the zone. Does a nice job adjusting to pitch height and natural loft built into the swing. Hit a ball to deep left field that fell and scored Stieg. In his final at bat flew out to right field.

Maryland Top Prospect Games West

Body: 5’11”, 170 pounds. Long/lean, athletic frame with projection as he matures. 
Hit: LHH. Balanced, slightly bent stance with the hands loose and low outside the shoulder. Utilized a slight lift and replace stride to initiate the bat head through a sudden, accurate/flat path into the hitting zone. Line drive approach with top of the order tendencies. The ball really jumped off the barrel through the middle of the field at head height, the hips and hands worked flawlessly together; mature hitter. 
Power: 92 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Doubles power with ability to go for extra bases to either gap. Power starts to become evident when getting extended at the front of the plate. 
Arm: RH. INF - 78 mph. Low ¾ to ¾ slot with accuracy across the diamond from a quick takeaway. 
Defense: Not afraid to come and attack the baseball, settling at a wide position with soft hands funneling out in front. Solid pace and some range to the glove hand side while being able to handle plays on the run with ease. 
Run: 7.34 60-yard time.
