Caiden Watson: OF/LHP, (2025) Southington, CT. 6-foot-1, 180-pound athletic strong build. Raw projectable in the box, Watson had an exit velocity of 92 mph. (70.6 mph bat speed average). (23.6 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced tall stance with a low load, then used a controlled stride. Had electric bat speed, level swing plane and good extension on his front foot finish. He barreled up multiple balls with loud contact. Pull side approach. Solid in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 81 mph; had soft hands, a clean exchange, and average footwork. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used a high ¾ slot with a compact arm action. During the event, clocked a 60 time of 7.07.
