At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Ydens has a strong frame with strength in his hands. He stays short to the ball with a quick stroke and was one of just a couple players to hit a home run at the Area Code Games. It came off the bat at 97 mph. He finished 3-for-8 with a triple as well, which had an exit velo of 100.2. An average runner, Ydens showed the ability to cover some ground and track a ball back to deep center, but he may wind up on a corner as he continues to fill out. He is committed to UCLA.
8/8/15 - Had another hard hit Saturday when he squared up a triple to left-center field for a triple. It registered 100.2 off the bat. He also showed the ability to go back on a ball and cover some ground in deep left center.
8/7/15 - As the second batter in the final game of the day, Ydens joined the Blair Field Home Run Club jumping on a mid-80s fastball with a short, quick swing and launching the pitch over the left field wall. He has strong hands and the home run was 97 off the bat. He later hit a single that had a 100-mph exit velo.

2/24/19: Athletic-bodied outfielder and well-rounded player. Pretty simple swing, takes a minimal load and creates good bat speed. Can get jumpy in the batter's box. Spun and pulled off the ball early in the series, but made a noticeable adjustment during his third at-bat of Saturday's game. Began to extend with his top hand and drove the ball to center and right-center field in his next two at-bats. Gets good jumps and reads the ball well in the outfield. Below-average arm strength, yet catches and throws quickly, allowing the arm to play up. Average runner down the line, 4.30 from the right side. Likely Day Two selection this June. (Seifert)

8/20/18: Six-foot-two, 195 pounds. Lean, athletic frame with chance for more physical development. Moves well in the outfield with long, easy strides. Average to slightly above average runner. 4.32 down the line. Clean arm action that projects to add more strength. Currently below average arm but shows consistent accuracy. Offensively, hits with quick hands and average bat speed. Gap-to-gap approach but could tap into more power. Swing does show some lift, especially pull-side. Quality approach at the plate. Occasionally struggles with recognizing spin. Swing and misses seem to result more from guessing than lack of contact skills. Had a breakout sophomore season for UCLA slashing .350/.421.558 and continued with a .304/.347/.432 line this summer. If he continues to hit at the same rate in 2019, expect Ydens to easily receive Day Two draft consideration this June. (D Jurik)
