Scouting Report
Physical: Highly projectable, lean frame with much more to come; 7.37 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Balanced, hinged stance out over the plate with the upper half and calm hands to begin. Utilized a stretched lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path towards a one-handed finish. Stayed behind the front leg on the turn allowing for space and a lofty approach to the big part of the field. Produced an 86 mph exit velocity via Trackman during his round and 290 foot distance.
Defensively: The third baseman attacked the ball with solid tempo out over the toes, bending at the waist. Funneled inward cleanly and delivered an accurate 82 mph throw across the diamond from a H ¾ slot. Repeatable effort with body control on the run.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 175 pounds; Long, lean build. 7.56 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Open setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Keeps the hands slotted by the shoulder with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a one-handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 87 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while covering ground laterally. Hands are soft with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 79 MPH.
Pitching: Wieczenski uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Short take back while arm stays in line with 2B, while working through a standard 3/4 slot. Upright with finish. FB: Peak velo of 76 MPH, while sitting 73-76 MPH; life through the zone. SL: 67-70 MPH; short action.
Demonstrated feel for a projectable 6-foot, 150-pound frame with athleticism in his actions and room to add strength as he matures. The left-handed hitter begins from a balanced, even stance utilizing a leg-lift to initiate a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Showcased a line drive approach with a quality feel for the barrel. Recorded a 75 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice and ran a 4.81 home-to-first time. The primary shortstop featured long movements displaying active range to the glove side while using average footwork and a soft glove-hand setup during defensive evaluations. Registered an accurate 72 mph arm-strength across the diamond out of a high 3/4 arm-slot. The right-handed pitcher sat 69-70 mph out of a repeatable high 3/4 arm-slot mixing in a 58-59 mph curveball with slow, sweeping action showing 11/5 shape in the zone.
