Scouting Report

11.04.18
Preston has a strong, durabel frame at 6-foot-175-pounds, with plenty of arm strength on throws to second base (80 mph) and 2.0-2.19 pop times. Good lower half mobility and soft hands allow him to move well laterally on blocks. He volunteered to catch in two games when a player dropped out. The right-handed hitter has raw strength at the plate with an 88 mph exit velocity. Rotates to contact with quick hands working on a flat path and made hard contact during BP.

7.17.18
Preston has a strong frame at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, and the type of arm strength that garners attention from college coaches already with top velocity from the crouch of 82 mph. He posted pop times of 1.93-2.07, throwing from a ¾ slot with a quick hand out front. The right-handed hitter starts from a neutral stance, then triggers his hands down and back as he tips the barrel toward the mound. Quick hands, flat path with a short finish as he rotates his hips and whips the barrel through contact with a top exit velocity of 84 mph.

6.12.18
6-foot-1, 175-pound athletic frame with strength. Preston drove balls with backspin in batting practice, and pounded an 88 mph exit velo off the tee.  He has quick twitch actions in his barrel, and quick hands/wrists that he uses to whip the barrel through the hitting zone. Defensively, Preston impressed with 2.00-2.10 pop times, making low throws on the right side of the bag.  He has quick feet and his legs are strong underneath him, and this creates good carry and arm strength on his throws (81 mph from behind the dish). Preston ran a 7.28 laser-timed 60.
