JACKSON, TN - The Prep Baseball West Tennessee Fall ID was held on Sunday, November 10th at Union University in Jackson, TN. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during simulated innings. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for the event, we take a look the scouting reports on all infielders from the West Tennessee Fall ID. Continue to check back as we release other scouting reports from the event.

Body: 5-10, 150 pounds. Natural athlete with quick twitch actions, present muscle and strength w/ room to grow.
Hit: RHH. Tall with his chest with a narrow stance and hands beginning at head level. A small stride forward sees his hands drop into a launch position before the swing launches at footplant. Showed a middle of the field approach with his best hit balls going in that direction. Has the ability to drive the ball the other way, which will improve as he gets stronger. 59.3 mph bat speed with 6g of rotational acceleration.
Power: mph max exit velocity ( avg.); -foot max batted distance.
