Notes

Comments

9/29/23
C James Tatroe (Prairie Ridge, 2026) came away one of the biggest winners from the Underclass division over the weekend. The right-handed hitter stood out immediately with his quick and direct hands at the plate, turning on inside fastballs consistently while staying on the barrel. Some bat-strength, especially to his pull-side, recording a double to LF on Sunday. Aggressive base-runner with good reads on balls in the dirt, always looking to take the extra base. Advanced receiving behind the plate, strong yet soft hands work to present pitches in and around the zone. Active and willing blocker, moves well to both sides into blocking position and deadens the ball out front. Clean catch/throw, recording a 2.13 pop-time between innings.
2/11/23

Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 5-11, 160-pounds. Well proportioned, athletic frame with room for growth.
Hit: RHH. Crouched setup, long stride. Long path, on time, loose hands, balanced finish and uses the whole field.
Power: 81 max exit velocity, averaged 74.9 mph.
Arm: RH. C - 70 mph. Short, clean arm action, over-the-top slot.
Defense: 2.12-2.26 pop times. Steady, quiet and calm receiver, soft hands and agile fundamentally sound blocker. Flexible and above-average overall defender. Clean, repeatable actions coming out of the chute.
Run: 4.33 runner in the 30-yard split.

6/11/22

Projectable, athletic 5-foot-10 frame, 145-pound, right handed hitting catcher. Balance, simple stance in the box, minimal pre-pitch movement, short stride trigger. Compact swing with athletic hands, line drive type hitter to the gap. Tatroe collected two hits on the day, in the second placed a ball thru the 4-3 hole for a single and in the fourth lined a single over the shortstops head. 

2/12/22

Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 5-10, 139-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Upright setup, open front leg, strides back to even. Hands high with separation, loose arms to the ball with a flat path, showed feel for the whole field.
Power: 77.9 max exit velocity, averaged 73.6 mph. 253’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 66 mph. High 3/4 slot, long transfer path at times.
Defense: 2.35 - 2.41 pop times. Solid block, average actions out of the crouch, feet play directional to target.
Run: 5.14 runner home-to-first.
