Scouting Report
Unsigned Senior Showcase (October 16, 2016)
Clarke has a lean athletic build at 6-foot-1 183-pounds. Ran a 7.26 60 which was one of the top times of the event. 80 mph exit velocity. Offensively- LHH showed well in batting practice. Starts with wide feet and a slight crouch. Hands are loaded high and back prepitch, minimal movement when pitch comes in. Power is produced from hips. Uses a small toe tap to start swing. Occasionally will only partially clear hips, which indicates that he might be too wide in prepitch stance.  Defensively- showed some feel for the glove at SS, feet and approach was somewhat choppy and hesistant. Arm action is short and stabby.
