ENY All-Star Games (September 17, 2017)

Collara stands a lean athletic 6-foot-0, 150-pounds with frame to build on. He uses a slower tempo to his delivery, high knee lift, hands stay high before breaking has he drives towards home. He uses  a long and back towards 2B arm-action, front shoulder stays slightly open. Stride is on the power line, slightly short for his body size. Releases the ball from a power 3/4 slot, fastball sits 77-80 mph with arm-side run (has been up to 82 mph). Curveball sits upper 60's low 70's with 11/6 shape when he gets through the pitch, at times loose side-to-side spin. Overall, impressive next-level projectable arm with signs of more physical gains to come. Fun player to follow.

Long Island Top Prospect (January 16, 2017)

Collora is an impressive 2020 right-handed hitting first baseman/RHP. Checks in at 5-foot-11 and weighs 140 pounds, ran a 4.88 home to first. Offensively- Hits from a slightly opened wide base, both knees bent, with the hands starting below the back shoulder and bat nearly resting on the shoulder. Uses a shift of weight to the backside while the lead foot elevates, kicking back toe down to the ground, while the hands are loaded straight back staying on the edge of the back shoulder and barrel of the bat getting almost perpendicular to the ground with no wrap during the launch phase of the swing. Displayed pop from the pull side line to the center of the field, using a quick hands and a compact path to the ball. Recorded an exit velocity of 75 MPH on the day. Defensively- Showed fluid and athletic movements to the ball both on the ground and in the air. Fielded the ball in a strong position above the glove side getting the body into a quality athletic position to throw. Recorded an arm velocity of 77 MPH, with throws showing carry and life out of the hand. Pitching- Worked from the stretch, pivot foot center of the rubber while the hands come set in front of the right ear, for the duration of the event. Lifted the lead knee well above the waistline, showing good balance and a stable back leg, while the hands remained ear height during the gathered phase of the delivery. Stuck the landing with the lead toe slightly closed keeping the lead arm and front side tight with little to no horizontal movement. Slight recoil with finish. Fastball, thrown from a high  arm slot, topped out at 77 MPH showing extreme arm side run and heaviness as well as late life. Demonstrated the ability to locate it to both sides of the plate. Change up with some late sink that drops off the table. Breaking ball has some late lateral action (65-66 MPH), as it sharpens this will become a very good secondary offering.
