Continuing a past favorite installment, this week's focus highlights a top performer from the Preseason Allstate - West 78 player event and the improvements made over the off season.
The primary outfielder raised his stock with improvements in all facets this preseason. Showed up with an added 5 lbs to the athletic 5-foot-1, 175 lb frame and came out of the gate showing the speed & quickness with a 6.78 60 time. Continued his impressive day in BP where he added a leg kick to his timing giving him some added rhythm and momentum; Joshua was able to get the foot down on time routinely staying balanced through out the swing while the hands were quick into the zone with + barrel control leading to a top exit velo of 95 MPH (90 MPH Avg / 353' max distance). In the field the quick first step, natural actions and improved arm strength will allow him to handle multiple positions.
