Central California Preseason All-State: Outfielder Analysis

1. Isaiah Tillman LHP / OF / Royal, CA / 2026

Positional Profile: OF - Highly intriguing 2-way profile as a LHH OF who could play CF defensively and shows feel to hit with rising impact, plus an arrow LHP profile with upper 80's velo and a pair of really good offspeed pitches.
Body: 5-10, 165 pounds. Wiry athletic build with some leanness but emerging strength
Hit: LHH. Wider set up with his feet with even toes and slight knee bend and hip hinge. High back elbow with hands set at ear height closer to his head with a flat bat angle. Deep shift onto his backside with a lengthy double toe tap that creates an aggressive forward move but he controls it with balance. Turns with quickness in his hips and ability to sink into his rear leg and use the ground. Rear shoulder drives through contact. Hands are direct into the zone with a shorter barrel path that stays flat through the zone for leverage. 67 mph bat speed with 26g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 mph max exit velocity (85.1 avg.); 345-foot max batted distance. Keeps the ball of the ground with consistency and showed an interesting ability to catch the ball out front with authority and lift while adding strong top end EV which gives him pull-side HR impact while profiling to middle of the field doubles power.
Arm: LH. OF - 86.00 mph. Some depth in the path out of the glove with an aggressive arm action that gets carry to his throws while showing accuracy. Gives him 3 position versatility.
Defense: Aggressive defender who can cover ground shows instincts for the ball in the air and confidence to make plays which gives him a solid CF profile.
Athletic Testing: 7.29 runner in the 60-yard dash. Builds low with burst off the line and shows short quick strides throughout.
