Brent Castelo, Gonzaga Preparatory School (WA), 2027
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-8, 140-pounds.
Hit: SH. Feet are set more than shoulder width apart, with weight shifted back over a bent rear leg, and an open front foot. In the upper half hands start neck high, with the bat hovering horizontally over the back shoulder, the hands are stacked in front of the shoulder and the knob is pointed down and towards the catcher. The hands lift off the back shoulder into a load as the front leg shifts back causing weight to shift over the back leg, the hips coil as the hands load into the swing before the front foot breaks into the stride, causing the hands to break into the swing as the hips flip open. The eyes stay locked on the ball until meeting the ball out front with line drive contact on the ball, keeping weight back throughout the entire swing and ending with a controlled two-handed follow-through.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 74.4 mph. 304' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-70 mph. Gathers the ball at the letters before breaking into a high 3/4 arm release.
Defense: Relaxed stance on pre-contact, first step is backwards after contact before working body position behind the ball, to then catch the pot fly two-handed on the move to carry momentum to target. Works to the ball with controlled feet both on pot flies and grounders, comfortably feilding the ball both on the ground and on the bounce forehanded.
ATH: 7.01 runner in the 60. 1.62 and 3.86 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 24.30 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 73.14 Edge Score
