Jeffrey

9/30/17
What a difference a weekend made for Madison Jeffrey. Jeffrey came into the weekend with some recruiting interest but after his performance on the mound he started hearing from D1 schools around the midwest before committing to West Virginia. A right-hander that is mechanically efficient with a very live arm. Fastball had regular run, sitting 87-92 mph. Also spins a breaking ball that flashed signs of a plus offering at 72-77 mph. The 11/5 shaped curveball has tight spin with depth. Although his future looks to be on the mound he also impressed at the plate. A lefty swinger that doesn’t get cheated. Possesses a well above average combination of strength and bat speed that shows in swing. Drove multiple extra base hits in game and flashed pull side power. Ran a 7.15 60-yard dash and was up to 88 mph off the tee.

7/12/17 6-foot,185-pound right-handed hitter initiates swing from a neutral narrow set up.  Utilizes a long stride and aggressive weight shift in achieving good separation. He gets bat on plane early and maintains throughout zone. Hips and hands are quick with good extension to and through the baseball.  An 87 mph bat exit velocity was recorded.

Defensively, There is excellent athleticism for first baseman while showing good footwork and moving well laterally.  Throwing motion is somewhat long and Jeffrey tends to drop elbow.

On the mound, The right-hander pitches from a high 3/4 arm slot with a loose quick arm action.  He demonstrates good balance, stays in line and consistently repeats his delivery.  FB sat 86-87 with substantial run and sink.  CB thrown at 72-75 had 12-5 shape, late break and considerable depth. Slider sat 74-76 and at its's best was short and tight with 10-4 shape.  It was somewhat inconsistent on this day.
