Offensively- Begins with an upright open lower half with a subtle shift of weight to the back side with the hands above the back shoulder and barrel of the bat parallel to the ground. Uses a pronounced lead leg lift with the knee, while inwardly rotating, gets thigh high and the hands are load straight back remaining slightly inside the back shoulder while the barrel of the bat gets wrapped behind the head. Displayed line drive pop to the pull side gap, while also demonstrating an ability to the ball on the outer third to the opposite field gap. Aggressive swing and stays compact with the hands, which produced an exit velocity of 74 MPH, but has been as high as 75 MPH at past events. Defensively- Pre-pitch movement technique of a step keeping the hands inside the body. Moved well and showed clean athletic movements for an infielder, displaying the ability to get rid of the ball from multiple arm angles with good carry and accuracy. Recorded an arm velocity of 75 MPH, an increase of 9 MPH from August. Pitching- Works from the center of the rubber, toes angled towards the arm side, with both hands held in front of the chest. Gets to the gathered position with a subtle step to the first base side with the lead foot, while the pivot foot drags slightly to the first base side of the rubber and lead knee gets above the waist with no inward rotation, and hands lowering slightly above the waist. Sticks the landing with a solid front foot, toes slightly closed, with the lead arm staying strong. Showed loose arm with good whip and extension on release. The fastball, thrown from a low to mid ¾ arm slot, showed life as well as arm side run and sink while topping out at 77 MPH. Was able to locate the pitch to both sides of the plate. The changeup showed good depth to both sides of the plate, but could use more of a differential from the fastball, topping out at 71 MPH. The slider, topping out at 64 MPH, showed loose spin and inconsistent break but had glimpses of 10-to-4 shape.
Martin, a 2019 grad from St. Francis Prep HS, stands at 5-foot-11 and 133-pounds. He ran a 7.92 60. Offensively- Starts with an upright open stance with the weight centered. Hands are above the back shoulder, with the bat at a 45 degree angle. Swing is initiated by a weight shift to the back side with an inward turn of the front foot and knee.

Defensively- Showed ability to move well to the ball off the glove side as well as straight at him. Used a low ¾ arm angle to make strong accurate throw's across the diamond.

Pitching- Starts on the first base side of the rubber, with weight centered and feet shoulder width apart. Utilizes a drop step to first base to get into the gathered position over the pitching rubber. From the gathered position, will use a drop and drive technique.

Looks very confident with the ball. Sleek shuffle, and moves threw his throws. Needs to work on his approach. Good athlete. Pitching- On the mound Martin shows good arm strength for his age and size.
