Scouting Report
What We Liked: The polished right-handed hitter impressed during batting practice with short, quick turns and high-contact traits across the zone. Warden was repeatedly on-time with the first move, using a simple barrel-tip and balanced approach to generate confident swings in the box (64% sweet-spot). Flashed the makings of a future top of the order asset with the ability to handle the bat situationally and backed it up with a smooth defensive round, breaking out a multitude of routes through the ball. Developing arm-strength was traded for fast, dynamic footwork with an immediate trigger out of the glove.
