Cade Hamilton, OF, Inspiration Academy (FL), 2022
6-foot-3, 210-pound frame, physical build with muscle attached throughout. Above-average athlete, cruising to a  6.78 in the 60 to start his day. Switch-hitter at the plate with a similar look from both sides, reached up to 99.7 mph for his max EV with an average of 93.1 mph (T376’). Heavy pull-side approach, worked more line-drives from the right-side and lifted contact from the left. Fluid defender on the infield with soft hands and athletic footwork, easy range to both sides and gets around the ball. Well above-average arm, reaching up to 88 mph across the diamond.

6/26/18

We’ve seen Cade multiple times this summer and this may have been his most impressive BP to date. Showed gap abilities with both sides, squaring up the baseball regular. His loft to path allows him to lift the ball naturally. A bat to follow as he matures. In the infield he plays with fluidity and is mechanically sound. Ball skills are above average for class. Lateral mobility will need to improve to stay at the shortstop position.

60-yard dash: 7.7
Infield Velocity: 67
Exit Velocity: 80

6/19/18

In the outfield he plays fast, using aggressive footwork in his approach. Plays through nicely on glove foot side, maintaining momentum into throws, Arm is clean with adequate strength, projecting for more with maturity. Right fielder skill set presently. In the infield he has fluid, confident actions. Does a nice job controlling rhythm and tempo throughout fielding. Ball skills are above average for class. Switch hitter with a similar look from both sides. Path will be slightly more level from the left at times. Projectable bat that has feel for making solid contact in game and in BP. One to follow as he continue to develop physically.

6/13/18

A switch hitter that has a legit chance to continue to do both at the next level. Very similar look from both sides. Starts in a balanced setup, using a fluid/athletic load. Uphill path with natural tools on par for class. More of a contact threat at this stage but will show occasional thump from both sides. Up the middle in the infield he shows fluid actions and plays the ball out in front of his body. Would like to see him play lower at times. Transfer is smooth and efficient. Skill set in general is ahead of curve for class.

Infield Velocity: 71
Exit Velocity: 82

5/29/18

A true switch hitter with a very similar swing mechanically/physically from both sides. Movements are athletic and well timed. Showed new found physicality since we’ve seen him last. The only noticeable different from either side would be a bit more intent from right. Liked what I saw in BP. A line drive guy who should grow into gap abilities. In the infield he has feel for the spot with the ability to create angles. Ball skills are there and can make plays outside his funnel. Lateral mobility would be area for improvement.

Infield Velocity: 69

9/24/17

A switch hitter at the plate. Mechanically he has a very similar look from both sides. Goes with a toe turn load and releases barrel from a vertical setup. Swing shows whip and feel for finding the barrel. Natural tools are developing and he should see easy increases in pop as he adds strength. Looks to have slightly more pop from the right side at this stage. In the infield his feet work and hands are soft. Has feel for the spot and can regularly make the routine play. Glove skills stay on the move, showing adequate lateral mobility. Arm strength is developing.

Home to First: 4.57
Infield Velocity: 68
Exit Velocity: R-78, L-70

6/28/17

A switch-hitter. From the left starts in a balanced setup. Uses a toe turn to gets things started. Path is level with some whip through the zone. Swing is efficient and any added strength should translate to immediate juice. From the right side he has a similar approach mechanically. Maintains bat speed and strength. Swing is identical from both sides. Looks to be a true switch hitter. In the infield he moves light on his feet and gets solid reactions off the bat. Glove skills are above average at this stage. Tends to play from heels at times. Looked comfortable on the move. Arm is clean and has enough strength to stay on the left-side of the infield.

60-yard Dash: 8.21
Infield Velocity: 68
Exit Velocity: R80, L77

1/14/17

Ran a 5.0  from home to first.In the outfield he does a nice job of fielding the ball on his glove foot side. Plays through the ball with some inconsistencies in ball security. Could get more out of his crow hop, which should translate to added arm strength. Thew to home plate with 70 mph arm strength. In the infield he does a nice job of cutting down distance with his footwork. Tends to field the ball on his heels. Decent lateral agility. Glove skills are developing.  Behind the plate he starts in a high crouch. Needs to be more consistent with his transfers. Registered pop times between 2.4-2.49, and threw to second base with 62 mph arm strength. A switch hitter at the plate. From the right side he uses a leg kick/ bat tip combo to create energy. Movements are efficient and should lead to added juice as he matures. Does a nice job staying inside the baseball and produced line drives to the middle of the field. From the left side he uses a leg kick with his lower half while keeping his upper half more simple than he does from the right side. Showed a flath path and worked more to his pull side. More advanced from the right side at this stage. Top exit velocity was 74 mph. On the mound the right-hander has fluid tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Arm showed some looseness to it while working through a high-¾ slot. Fastball sat 64-66 mph with sink at times. Showed one of the better changeups of the day. The pitch had late life down in the zone. Also, spun a 10/4 shaped breaking ball with solid depth.
