6/15/16 - 60 Time: 6.93, Position Velocity:  IF-83, Exit Velocity: 85
6'1, 180-pound, RHH hits from a wider, balanced, and even stance and maintains a very stable base throughout his swing, uses a short stride through an abbreviated leg kick and a controlled load of his hands with a little rap to get himself into a good position.  Lower half stays strong and under control even when firing to create separation, stays behind the ball well and consistently gets his bat on plane and stays through the zone for a long time, not a lot of wasted movement keeps things simple, uses his strength to his advantage and tallied 4 hits in game play with a double.  Defensively, showed good hands and played through the ball well but used a longer exchange, footwork could improve but always put him in position to make the play, high ¾ to over-the-top release point produced very accurate throws with a good amount of carry across the infield.

6/15/16 -  Max FB: 85, FB: 84-85, CB: 71-72, 
6'1, 180-pound, RHP stayed well under control and collected throughout his delivery, starts slower in his rocker step and picks up the pace throughout his motion toward the plate, uses his leg lift to really gather himself and ignite his lower half, drops into his back leg before coming toward the hitter in a hurry, maintains good alignment and lands his front foot in a great position, long and loose arm action comes from a high ¾ angle with some good whip, finishes well balanced.  Fastball stayed straight but was very heavy coming through the zone and seemed quicker than 85, curveball has a lot of potential and showed sharp 11/5 action with late movement. Although command was a little erratic, Chilcutt threw strikes and got quite a few swing-and-misses.
