Perry

 
Campus Series-Albany (July 18, 2017) 

Perry stands in at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds with a thick, strong, athletic frame. Offensively- Lefty sets up in an open stance with his feet shoulder width apart. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat in front of the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a knee raise in to stride forward while his hands move back into his hitting position. Good lower body rotation getting hips cleared and using whole body frame in swing process. Shows quick hands to the hitting zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated good plate coverage and line drive ability to all fields during batting practice round. Shows potential with clean swing. Recorded an exit velocity of 81 MPH, down 2 MPH from his previously best recorded mark of 83 MPH set in February 2017. Defensively- In the infield, shows a good approach and footwork towards the baseball. Fielding mechanics are clean with a quick funnel into the chest and appropriate transition into the throwing position. Has aggressive footwork towards intended target and made accurate throws. Moves well left/right and in on the run. Recorded a positional arm velocity in the infield of 80 MPH, up 3 MPH from February 2017. From the outfield, moves well to the baseball with a good approach and footwork. Gets underneath and shows a good transition from catch to the throwing position gaining ground throughout the process of the throw. Was accurate and moves well left/right and on the run. Recorded a positional outfield arm velocity of 85 MPH, a 5 MPH increase from February 2017. Overall a talented 2018 collegiate prospect that is still available.

Athletic 6-foot-1, 180-pound infielder, ran a 7.73/60. Offensively - effective load, keeps hands inside ball and bat on level path through the strike zone, full extension after contact with an exit velocity of 85 MPH; repeatable motion, some evidence of counter rotation between upper and lower torso, further lower body engagement will add to power. Defensively - basic footwork, sure hands, deliberate transfer, accurate arm with a velocity of 80 MPH.  

 Perry stands 5-foot-11, 170-pounds with a big strong frame. This 2018 corner guy swings it from the left side and showed tremendous upside. Ran a 7.30 60. Offensively- Sets up with a wide base and relaxed hands.  Loads back to front and gets a lot out of his lower half.  Bat path was direct and explosive.  Showed an 83-mph exit velocity.  Defensively- Works from the ground up and fields everything to the center of his body.  Threw it 78-mph across the diamond. Perry certainly shows projectability solid build, powerful lefty stroke and good arm strength. Likely a corner guy in either the infield or outfield, and a middle of the order power guy at the next level.

Andrew stands 5-foot-11, 160-pounds with an athletic build. At the plate he hits from the left-side with a wide base, elbow high. On the pitch he uses a slight stride, back load. Short path to the ball, mostly level barrel through contact, short extension with a high athletic finish. Projectable bat. At the corner he stays behind the ball, footwork needs to smooth out some, glove is wide and open out in front, shows a clean transfer, throws from a few arm angles (71 mph) but mostly high-3/4. Overall intriguing corner defender who shows early signs of a next-level bat from the left-side.
