Scouting Report

6/14/22

 

Physical: Longer-framed, projectable 6-foot-2, 185lbs. 6.80 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, shoulder-width stance, as the hands started pre-set by the ear. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone, extending on the ball towards a deep one-handed finish. Recorded a lofty approach to the pull-side of the field, notching a 93 mph exit velocity with some burst up to 354 feet. Capable of filling a middle of the order role, more to come.

Defensively: The outfielder profiles at a corner position, creating depth on balls hit in the gaps with rangy actions. Worked downhill using his strides to gain ground, fielding on the left side, and releasing up to 89 mph positionally.

 

7/28/21

 

Physical: Athletic, well proportioned 6-foot-2, 180lb frame with clean movements. 6.80 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, upright stance at shoulder width as the hands operated in rhythm at the head. Utilized a leg kick stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, whippy path into the hitting zone. Stayed short on his approach into the slot, able to repeat on the inner half generating flush contact to the LCF gap. Present length at the plate, able to use it properly with good extension en route to a T322 foot batted ball distance at his peak (via Trackman). Produced doubles power on occasion, living on a line towards a higher finish on the backside (33% line drive rate). Notched a 92 mph bat-exit velocity with more available in the near future. 

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated attacking, active footwork that beat the ball to the spot. Featured good reads on balls hit in the air, tracking immediately and making early decisions. Fielded off his left side and got rid with tempo from a lengthy H ¾ slot (87 mph arm, can handle any of three OF positions).


 

6/15/21

 

Physical: Lengthy, projectable 6-foot-2, 180lb frame with noticeable athleticism that carries across all phases. 6.83 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, loose operation with the hands showing quick rhythm above the shoulder to start. Utilized a leg lift stride with pace into footstrike, launching through a powerful flat path into the hitting zone. Matched pitch plane early allowing for loud contact and leverage at the front of the plate, exploding for extra-base hits through the LCF side of the field (T96 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman). Held posture well over the backside with tight turns and twitchy hands at times, handling pitches in any quadrant and working up to a near 350 foot batted ball distance with true middle of the order capabilities. A 50% fly ball rate / 25% line drive split points towards loft in the approach and ability to carry the baseball with authority. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder displayed some centerfield tendencies, staying behind the baseball with natural feel for his body in space. Read the ball off the bat working around and down through using down chest angles in the posture. A low glove hand played smoothly out in front and corralled with quickness to the throwing ear, releasing with length through a H ¾ slot out in front (84 mph arm, accurate, carry).
