A 6-foot-3, 195-pound right hand hitting3B/RHP.   Phelps who was fighting an ankle sprain still showed well at this showcase.  Balanced at the plate with a slight leg kick for timing.  Firm foundation and hits against a solid front side.  Hands travel slightly upward through the zone creating a ball with good carry.  He had a 91 MPH exit velocity.  In the field he is smooth and comfortable at third base.  He shows good instincts and soft hands.  He delivers an accurate 80 MPH ball from a high ¾ arm slot.  Identified with the best swing 2016 at this event.
