Notes

9/17/22

MIF DaMaurion Butler (Kenwood, 2025) continues to trend in the right direction. He continues to make improvements to his swing path to flatten out through the zone and he was consistently on balance and on the barrel during his round.  He has a line drive gap to gap approach with feel for the barrel while consistently being on time.  Defensively he has active feet, plays fast with a quick release and can make plays in all directions. His arm topped at 85 mph, playing easy and true.

4/23/22

Uncommitted. 5-foot-4, 150-pound, right-handed hitting shortstop. Started at shortstop and hit in the eight-hole as a freshman. Stood out on the day, especially defensively. Handled everything hit his way and did so with relative ease. Clean, athletic actions, sure-handed and above-average internal clock. Comfortable ranging to both sides, quick release when needed and arm played plenty strong (85 mph at a previous event) with accuracy. Offensively, showed a more repeatable, direct swing than we have seen in the past. Athletic hands, consistently on time and on the barrel. Finished 1-for-2 with two runs scored, a walk and a line-drive single to left-field in his first at-bat. Also, stole three bases on the day. Talented middle infielder to follow in the freshman class.
