Tyler
Vernon

Vernon had the best pop time throwing a 2.01. His pop times ranged from 2.01-2.26. When he stays in his legs and gains ground toward the bag, his times were good. When he stayed vertical and behind the dish, you saw his times take a dive. Additionally, he tends to curl the baseball to his mask instead of taking it straight back, causing his ball to tail at times. In the scrimmage, he did an excellent job of setting up late and not tipping pitch location on a day where shadows could aid hitters. In the long run, Vernonâs blocking and receiving will benefit from increased hip flexibility and widening his receiving stance. Offensively, he starts from a balanced stance and drops his hands on his load. This causes his bat path to be uphill with bat speed that drags through the zone.
