5-foot-11, 175-pound thin athletic frame. Square balanced stance, small stride on line, and hands make a small load. Zajac is short to contact with a level path and the barrel stays in the zone through extension. Got out front in a later at bat, but was able to keep the bat in the hitting zone long enough to get the barrel on it and muscle it for a single.

5-foot-11, 175-pound athletic build. Solid projectable during batting practice, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 94 mph. (68.7 mph bat speed average). (18.5 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a quick load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed is flashed raw, has a rotational uphill swing plane and high balanced finish. During his round he produced loud contact and found some barrels. Aggressive gap to gap approach. While catching, his best recorded velocity during throw downs was clocked at 73 mph; showed a quick natural transfer, and quick rhythmic footwork. had a pop time of 2.06-2.19. A lot of flexibility and staggered athletic setup. Some accuracy to the bases, used a short quick arm action with an-over-the-top slot. Clocked a 60 time of 7.09 at the event.

Zajac is 5-10 with a lankier athletic 165 pound frame that has plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a slightly open balanced athletic stance, low leg kick stride on line, short smooth load back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short and quick to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, some strength at contact with extension through the ball, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, gap power present to all fields with chance to add more as he fills out, exit velocity was 94. Behind the plate, quick clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short loose arm action, position velocity was 73 and pop times 2.03-2.17. Receiving, works mostly with a with a knee down, good hands receiving, shows sway tracking ball. Ran a 7.21 60 yard dash.
