Trask

Trask had a strong performance during the summer circuit that continued during the fall. Listed at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Trask is an athletic prospect that is light on his feet that has many tools to his game. First of which is his defense capabilities that project at any infield position, with a strong arm up to 87 across the diamond and the ability to play with control and slow down the game. On offense, Trask has repeatedly shown the ability to hit across multiple looks with simple, solid bat-to-ball skills. His eye-catching performances from spring through the fall have helped him rise inside this update.
