- PLAYER ANALYSIS -

Preston Burnside SS / RHP / Bluffton, SC / 2022

Slight frame has gotten taller and shown signs of physical maturation since last years underclass games at CofC. Profiles as a middle infielder and has improved the overall skillset within the last year. Not a burner, but runs moderately well underway. (7.28 60 time & 4.27 H/F time) Works to and through ground balls with some rhythm at times. Plays the ball off the right hip with a short exchange and loner arm action to a H3Q slot. Rests the bat on the shoulder and uses a longer stride to gather the weight on the backside. Steep attack angle produced ground balls and low line drives to all fields. (76 EV) Barrel was quick in and out of the zone at times. Good motor.

Nate Hoyt OF / Bluffton, SC / 2022

Medium frame with proportional build and round shoulders. Solid mix of tools that will develop with age. Sneaky good runner (6.99 60 time). Quick pro step and H3Q to OTT release point produced throws with moderate carry on target. Taller stance and relaxed hand set. Medium stride and short hand load. Very quiet actions at the plate with smooth barrel release through contact and naturally lofted path. Hit tool will have a chance to develop as he gets stronger.

Nicholas Moylan OF / C / Oceanside Collegiate, SC / 2020

5 foot 10, 155lb frame with slightly slopped shoulders. Avg runner underway. Aggressive to the ball and quick pro step release. Short arm action and OTT slot produced on target throws with avg. carry. Worked under the balls with quiet hands behind the plate. Will handle pitches in the zone at present inconsistent with pitches at the edge of the zone. Quick transfer and release, improved arm strength will dictate ceiling of his catch/throw ability.

Hayden Wood OF / RHP / Ashley Ridge, SC / 2023

Youthful prospect with developing athleticism. Medium frame for his age. Long stride with med. high running effort. Short crow hop and H3Q arm slot produced throws with fade. Slightly open stance strides back to a closed position. Deep hand load and barrel turn behind the head produced heavy pull side BP rounds with ground ball tendencies.

Chai Kirshtein 2B / SS / Porter-Gaud, SC / 2020

Smaller profile with square shoulders and moderate athletic build. Good runner with a short gate and easy actions. (7.02 60 time) Works to ground balls with a low approach and quick footwork, choppy at times. 3Q arm slot with accurate throws and avg carry. Balanced stance just outside the shoulders and flat bat set up. Loads the hands back with a medium high leg kick, keeping the bat relatively flat in relationship to the zone. Flat path through the zone produced line drives and hard ground ball contact.

Emmett DeScherer RHP / OF / Porter-Gaud, SC / 2021

Medium frame and slopped shoulders with proportional build and good present athleticism. Good runner with violent arm swing and powerful stride. (6.90 60 time) Worked out as an OF and Pitcher. Fluid footwork through ground balls in the OF with a glove tap between exchange and release and a H3Q arm slot. Balanced stance and medium leg kick that lands softly, barrel turns onto a positive attack angle at launch. Gap to gap power present.

Justin Colwell RHP / 1B / Fort Dorchester, SC / 2021

RHP/1B with long limbs. Slightly disconnected at times but potential to clean up the movements as he adds strength. Stop/start footwork fielding ground balls and H3Q arm slot. Naturally quick hands around the bag make up for some unpolished actions. Taller stance, heavy stride. Balance point just above the belt and H3Q arm slot. FB showed life at times and there is developing feel for offspeed.

Drake Nisbet OF / RHP / Philip Simmons, SC / 2021

Slender build with high waist. Quick footwork, choppy for stretches, working through balls in the OF. Prostep to a H3Q release and fringe avg carry. High back elbow and forward hand set. Load down and back with a short/soft stride. Slightly lofted bat path releases through contact. (69 mph exit velo) Quick rocker step and a balance point just above the belt. Stabbing action on the back side with slightly abbreviated path to a H3Q to OTT arm slot.
