Notes

10/10/20

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-0, 158-pounds. Athletic body, strength in lower half, lanky rangy upper body proportions.
Delivery: High comfortable knee lift over rubber, breaks hands quickly in sync with lower half working down slope, maintains body control, athletic delivery, fluid and repeatable, in-line stride.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action on backside, tilts front shoulder up a bit which creates some ability to hide the ball, high-3/4 slot, arm works easy, has control of the arm swing.
FB: T83, 81-82 mph. Max spin hints at velo spike down the road, release height works to allow FB to maintain plane up in zone, abv avg movement pattern to arm side.
CB:  mph.
SL: 65-67 mph. Wide sweeping CB, big break can work starting in or out of zone depending on desired outcome, lowers slot with CB.
CH: 70-74 mph. Feel for the zone and the pitch, lesser movement than FB with similar arm speed, looks capable of starting bats and getting soft contact.

Positional Profile: SS
Hit: RHH. Feet shoulder width, wide elbows, bat relaxed early, long stride, has rhythm in hands, barrel in good position to fire, minimal backside load/energy gather, inconsistent timing, 16.3 max rotational acceleration (10.43 avg). Easy hands, has athleticism to compensate some timing flaws, heavy fly ball % (72.7) with 60% on plane.
Power: 92 mph exit velocity in live BP via TrackMan. Max hand speed 26.1 (avg 21.98), max bat speed 72.6 (65.46 avg).
Arm: RH. INF - 81 mph. Longer arm stroke for MIF, can throw from multiple angles, loose quick arm, projects favorably if the arm stroke shortens a bit.
Defense: Glides smoothly to the ball, soft hands, focuses on sweet-spotting the ball, tends to take extra step or two to get rid of ball.
Run: 7.05 runner in the 60.

1/17/20

Monterey Bay Winter Hitting Update:

Even balanced stance keeping wide elbows and utilizing high front foot load. Stays balanced and shows quick bat with direct hands able to stay level through zone. Gap-to-gap type of swing when staying locked in back hip; times where hits off front foot sapping power and slowing barrel. When staying in back hip allows for more time to react and more explosive contact.
