Notes

Comments

6/27/22

Physical: 5-foot-9, 165 pounds; Athletic, proportional build. 7.52 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Loads straight back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing a strong lower half. Showed a flat swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 89 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are underneath the body while funneling to the hip before transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot.  INF - 74 MPH. 

6/28/21

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 165lb frame with some feel present. 7.49 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, simple stance as the feet showed in-line with a slight bend in the knees and minimal, extra hand movements. Utilized a lift and replace stride on time with a quick launch through a flat path into the hitting zone. Found good extension on the front side, gaining leverage at impact when pitched middle-in. Produced a mostly gap to gap approach, hitting into an adjustable front side with good bat to ball skills that translated into low swing/miss rates in-game action. Posted a T89 mph bat-exit velocity (via Trackman) adding a 36% line drive rate and 314 foot batted ball distance; ability to hit for some average with current doubles power at the plate.

Defensively: The primary middle infielder featured rangy, choppy feet early in routes, getting to the baseball on-time when presenting a soft glove hand. Medium/low posture and worked down to up in the actions, able to funnel into the chest and release immediately from a shorter ¾ slot (73 mph arm, accurate). Second base projection moving forward with ability to make the play on the run across his body.

2/17/21

Physical: Athletic, lean 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame with present feel in all phases of the game; positional flexibility. 7.36 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - The righty started from a narrow, open stance while showing a mostly upright setup to start; hands used a barrel tip coupled with a leg hang stride in order to launch the bat head through a fluid, flat path into the hitting zone. Recorded an 89 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball while peppering the ball back through the middle of the field, some front side drift on occasion leading to a 50% ground ball rate during his batting practice round. Kept it on a line as well (30% LD rate) with confidence that he can repeat the swing at the plate (70% on-plane efficiency). Developing power at the moment, but can handle the bat near the top of the batting order. 

Defensively: The primary middle infielder showcased adequate footwork during defensive evaluations; got the chest downhill early with feel for pace, got the hip and shoulders in good angles prior to fielding, funneled into the beltline, and let it rip from an accurate high ¾ slot (74 mph) … The backstop featured solid pocket awareness when receiving from a traditional setup. Lightning quick feet and transfers on postures yielded impressive 2.04-2.09 pop times with accuracy on the bag (71 mph). Might have the chance to stick behind the plate, but certainly gives the chance to start at two positions moving forward (second base, catcher).
