JFG Trials - Player Analysis - 2022 Grads 

 

Kendel Barrett RHP / 1B / Lugoff Elgin, SC / 2022

5 foot 11, 165 lb RHP/1B with a stronger lower half and room to finish his development in the upper body. Balanced stance at the plate with the back elbow even with the shoulders. Quick toe tap load, felt rushed at times. Quick into and out of the zone at times producing multiple ground balls in his BP round. Forced actions on defense playing ground balls off of his heels. Quick exchanges and a short arm stroke on double play turns and bunt plays. On the mound uses a bigger rocker step to get to a balance point just above the belt. The stabbing arm action on the back side brings the release point just off the ear at an OTT to a H3Q slot. FB 70-73 with a 58-62 mph CB with 11/5 shape and an early breaking action. 

 

 

 

Bryce Breeden 1B / Westwood, SC / 2022

Larger profile with a thick lower half and torso. LHH starts from an open stance and works back to parallel slightly hanging the stride foot as he gathers his weight on the backside. Lofted bat path barrel is quick into and out of the zone. Pullside heavy BP. (79 mph EV) Choppy actions in the field but showed some instincts and natural reactions when tested on double play turns. 

 

 

 

 

Zane Catoe 2B / SS / Lugoff-Elgin, SC / 2022

5 foot 6, 152lb infielder with proportional athletic frame. Narrow stance inside the shoulders with a higher leg kick. Hands start off the back shoulder but drive down and back to a lower slot at foot strike. Gets good extension through contact and carries the gaps with additional potential for added power. (81 mph EV) Showed tendencies to get long at times but consistently produced line drives in BP rounds. Compact frame with smooth footwork, worked through ground balls with a low approach and clean pick-up, transfer, & throw. Arm action is longer from the SS position but could be addressed will minimal player development and additional maturation. (73 INF Velo)

 

 

 

 

John Janco RHP / SS / Westwood, SC / 2022

Two way player (RHP/SS) who has added some height and slimmed up some since our last look at him. Thicker through the lower half and mid section with room to add additional mass up top. Balanced stance outside the shoulders and carries his hands lower then loads them up and back. Steep attack angle produced a low line drive & ground ball filled round of BP. (81 mph EV) Under control in the infield, slightly disconnected from his hands at times. Full arm action and long release. Medium rocker step into a balance point just above the belt. Showed control of the FB (72-75) and feel for spin (63-64). 

 

 

 

 

Banks Munn OF / SS / Lugoff Elgin, SC / 2022

5-9 165lb athletic frame with strong lower half. 7.34 sixty time. Knees inside the feet at set up with a lower hand set. Slight barrel turn loads the hands and a high stride timing mechanism loads the weight onto the back side. Aggressive through contact with the lower half, losing the barrel at times through the zone and can get out on his front foot. (81 mph EV) Quick pro step and exchange with an abbreviated follow through and shorter arm stroke. (68 OF Velo)

 

 

 

Liam Ginnery 1B / RHP / Westwood, SC / 2022

Thicker profile with wide hips/shoulders. Tall stance with vertical bat, loads with a medium stride and pushes the hands down and back maintaining a vertical bat angle. Quick hand push muscles the barrel into the zone but there is limited extension through contact. Middle opposite field approach, spraying line drives and fly balls to all fields. (79 mph EV). Worked through ground balls with solid hands and choppy footwork. Under control with the lower half.
