6-foot-0, 180 pounds. Bats and throws right. Jordan has grown a lot since we have seen him last. Strong base, and body could be fighting himself a little in his growth spurt. At the plate has an open stance. Hands start low and generates impressive bat speed through the zone. Timing hitter with aggressive stride towards the pitcher that gets the most out his slightly uphill swing that at times can get long. Has a ton of power potential. Exit velo off tee was 87 mph. Behind the dish sticks the fastball good, and has minimal movement. Pop-time off the pitcher was 2.06. Has a lot of potential on the mound. Has good leg drive towards plate. Might have more upside on mound. Fastball sits at 82-83 mph topping out at 84, but easily can be a 90 kid as he grows. Curve is a huge change of pace pitch at 59-60 mph. Change was 68. Ran a 7.75 60. 2018 prospect to follow.

8-16-14
5-foot-10, 165-pound catcher/right-handed pitcher, and middle infielder impressed with arm strength both on the mound, behind the plate, and during infield evals. Behind the plate, threw 76 mph with pop times ranging between 2.31-2.36. Arm is strong but throwing action is long for position. Hits from a open, balanced setup. Hands drop in load and has a long stride which makes him jump out towards ball. Has a bat path looking to pull with 81 mph exit velocity which is good bat speed for this age. When he learns to quiet down extra movement should be able to take advantage of above average velocity. Has a good approach at plate and good composure. Ran a 7.8 60 yard dash. We will also profile Medina in Pitching Analysis. Good looking young prospect.
