5-10, 170-pound athletic player with a strong arm and quick bat. Porter ran an event best 7.00 and we have had him faster. His athletic ability shines at the plate with a simple set up, quick load and explosive hands at contact. Good lower leg drive and a slight uphill path had several balls hit hard in the gaps. Exit velocity was 90 mph. In the field he glides to the ball, shows smooth actions when fielding and delivers from an over the top arm slot. Ball has carry and accuracy and played at 84 mph.

5-foot-9, 170 pounds. Switch hitter, throws right. Slight crouch, and has unique timing mechanism from both sides where he loads down, pauses, then attacks ball with slight uphill swing, and simple. Worked for him and had a good round from both sides with solid line drive contact. Bat speed is there at 85 and 86 mph exit velo off the tee. Also showcased a strong arm in OF throwing 79 mph. Intriguing prospect with a good skill set. Also ran one of the better home to first times at 4.2.
