Scouting Report

2/14/21

 

Positional Profile: OF/LHP

Body: 6-foot, 170-pound lean and athletic frame with room for added strength and size.

Hit: LHH.  At the plate starts with a slightly upright stance and hand set below shoulder height and close to the body.  Uses a leg kick gather and stride with good balance.  Lower half works linearly through the swing.  Has very good bat speed and body control.  Uses the whole field well with a line drive approach and real strength at contact.  

Power: 91 mph exit velocity from the tee. 

Arm: LH.  OF-80 mph.  Over the top arm slot with a short arm action on the backside and long release.

Defense: In the outfield shows attacking feet to the ball with good rhythm.  Shows a feel for glove action and fields the ball out in front of the body off the glove side leg.  Uses a shuffle technique for the crow hop.

Run: 4.40 runner from home to first.

Delivery: Works exclusively out of the stretch.  Smooth tempo to balance point.  Kicks stride foot out before foot strike.  High glove side with slight shoulder tilt upwards.  Repeats the delivery well.

Arm Action: ¾ arm slot with clean arm action. 

FB: 77-80 mph, slight arm side run with some life at the top of the zone. 

CB: 60-67 mph, 12/6 shape with good downward break. 

CH: 69-71 mph, strong fade to arm side with low spin rate and developing command.
