On deck preview

Ethan Harris 3B / SS / CBA- Syracuse, NY / 2024


What to expect: Quality line-drive contact from the right-handed batter's box with some budding rotational power. Gets the barrel out early for a mostly pull-side approach into the T90 mph exit range.

What we'd like to see: A wider landing position would allow the legs to catch up to a quick upper-half and round out an already seasoned extra-base hit skillset.

Nicholas Chicaway 3B / RHP / Cohoes , NY / 2024


What to expect: An athletic stance allows for adjustability all over the zone, changing angle from flat to vertical depending on the pitch. Works behind the ball on the turn with hand-speed present.

What we'd like to see: Maneuvering his contact point to the front of the plate would create additional backspin off the bat. Quick feet are an advantage on defense with ability to break the 80 mph mark across the dirt.

Anthony Dorozynski SS / 3B / Whitesboro , NY / 2024


What to expect: Loose, upright posture with some barrel-whip through impact. Displays weight-shift into a stiff front side and drives the ball into the LCF gap. Projects to be more of a corner infielder. 

What we'd like to see: Improved pace on the defensive side of the ball, as well as a further max distance (288 feet), which we know he has in there.

ALUMNI ACCOLADES

Aidan Heffner SS / OF / Lasalle Institute , NY / 2023


Date Attended: 2/22/22

Performance: Was a top performer, starting off with a blazing 6.78 60-yard dash. Then posted a balanced round of batting practice, on the barrel often for a T95 mph exit velocity. Delivered an accurate ball from the sleeve during defensive evaluations, up to 87 mph across the infield.

Recent: Finishing his Senior year out at LaSalle Institute, after announcing his commitment to Siena in '22.
