James Waterman: 1B/RHP, (2026) Copley High School, OH. 6-foot-1, 150-pound projectable frame. (54.6 mph bat speed average). (17.8 mph hand speed average). Began in a tall pre-loaded stance with a smooth load, then used a small leg kick. Had a simple swing plane, efficient bat speed and high finish. He barreled up multiple balls with some loud contact. Pull side approach. Smooth capable in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 66 mph; had athletic footwork, a clean exchange, and sure hands. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Showed a quick arm action and uninterrupted slot with decent accuracy to the bag. Capable on the mound, showed developing arm speed with a ¾ arm angle and a moderate arm action. Tilt-and-topple type pitcher and shows some effort. Showed consistent balance point and in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish.  (Max spin 2029; Avg 1975).
