Scouting Report

6/11/19

One of the best bats in the class, Tambone showed the ability to drive the ball all over the field. He starts with an open stance and high hands. Good rhythm between hands and leg lift. His swing works on plane early, giving him a large margin for error and ability to drive the ball to right. Exit velo was up to 95 MPG. All of his numbers increased, most noticeable his arm strength which was up to 86 MPH. Ran a 6.89

1/27/19- 5’10 180-pound strong frame. Gets into zone very early creating plenty of margin for error in his swing. Good use of leg kick and staying in the ground with his back side to produce his 94 MPH exit velo, which was shown by the impressive BP and pull-side pop. 7.17 60 and arm at 73 MPH from the outfield may keep him in left field, but potential big time bat should carry him to the next level.

10/14/18 - 5-foot-10, 180-pound built frame. The right-handed hitter shows a quiet set-up with a hang and read type load. Shows present strength. Shows some easy power for his age. Will go the other way. As a defender shows good instincts and ability to get rid of ball quickly. 80 mph reading from RF. If the bat keeps developing don’t be surprised to see him slide to the other side and man the LF spot at the college level.
