AJ Cifani: 3B/1B, (2024) Aurora, OH. 6-foot, 210-pound solid frame. In the box, the right-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 89 mph. Started in a wide balanced stance with a big load, then used a leg kick. Bat speed is average and displays a flat swing plane. Solid while in the infield, made throws up to 70 mph; showed a clean exchange, sure hands, and consistent feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were average. On the mound, showed good arm speed with a compact arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher. Showed a strong balance point. Sat with his fastball at 71-74 mph; shows running action and arm side control. Shows gradual action on his 11/5 curveball (62-65). Shows fading action and arm side command on his changeup (64-66).
