Barrel path is flat, with some length in the zone leading to hard contact to all fields in batting practice. Registered a 93 mph bat exit velocity this summer at the Western PA Top Prospect Games. Athleticism and foot speed will allow coaches to play Myers all over the outfield at the next level. 87 mph arm strength transfers to the mound where he sat 80-83 during an inning of work in game action.

9/15/18 Defensively, as middle infielder shows confident hands, soft hands while working bottom up and out front. Transfer is clean and quick. Feet are active in creating optimal angles and hops. Consistently works through the ball and demonstrates solid range.

Offensively, 5-foot-9 180 pound, right handed hitter initiates swing from neutral set up with short controlled stride to neutral. Weight shift is passive followed by an aggressive hip turn. Bat path is slightly steep into the zone. Emert consistently barreled ball during am impressive round of BP.

On the mound, the right-hander works out of a high 3/4 arm slot. FB sat 78-81 while being intermittently cut to glove side. Curveball at 65-67 mph was not as tight on this day as previously seen while having 11/5 shape. Slider at 69-70 mph has short, late break with limited tilt. Delivery is moderate effort and repeatable.
