Stocky build and stout body as he’s filled out nicely for a 16 year old. Uses strength in the swing taking a full hack with above average bat speed. Gets the weight back and coils tightly in the load. Lands soft on the front foot and the timing mechanism is impressive as he creates a lot of movement but gets to the contact point and the barrel head has tons of torque. Power potential is inevitable as the body will mature turning liners into homers.

Martinez has been on a tear this weekend. Strong frame that translates into gap to gap power. Really like the upside as a two way prospect. 

Boasting a lean frame, build projects him to put on a little more size. Has some arm talent and changes slots with frequency on the mound. Command gets a little shaky at times but creates many different angles and viewpoints keeping hitters off balance. FB runs to armside quite a bit at 81-83 mph with a frisbee like SL at 71-73 mph that has bite at times. CH looked nasty when he kept it in the zone at 74-75 mph, pulling the string as the bottom falls out.

College of Central FL commit. Smooth, repeatable delivery from the left side, stays on top of baseball on all pitches. FB 85-88, CB 75-77 right to left bite.

Showed command with his entire arsenal flashing a low-mid 80s fastball with ride, a short CB at 68-69 with late bite and a fading change at 71-72 that dives off at its best

Vanderbilt commit showed bat speed and strength as he launched a triple off the wall early. Combination of quickness and strength helps him drive the ball gap to gap with power to all fields. 

Stocky build, carries the weight well with a projectable frame. Methodical, rhythmic windup and delivery and decelerates well pushing the upper body down through release. Gave hitters fits all day as the mound presence and pitchability stands out. FB was up to 84 with a looping 12/6 shape breaking ball in the low 70s. 

Uncommitted 2021 is a tall athletic southpaw. High waisted with long legs. Wade comes from a high ¾ slot and was working 85-87 T88 with late sink on the fastball. Intriguing athletic uncommitted 21.

Big body with a filled out frame. Has some quickness in the hands and wrists staying calm in the load. Strength stand outs as he gets the bat head to the ball with authority. If he stays through the ball and gets to full extension consistently he can add backspin that should create more carry.
