Milks has toned up his frame since last time we saw him, now listed at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds. Two-way player who ran his 40-yard dash in 5.09. Has also ran a 4.71 at Peak Performance Academy. At the plate, hits with hands back, small wrap to trigger but gets barrel through with whip and slight uphill bat path. Leg kick to load, generates bat speed, exit velocity was 87 mph. Defensively, aggressive fielder with whip in his arm, a little violent with the body but ball comes out hand nicely, velocity was 81 mph from the outfield. On the mound, worked 77-78 mph from 3/4 arm slot, recoil in the arm but it works, more in the tank, can generate from lower half more. Tendency to slow down on off-speed, curveball was 61 mph while changeup was 68 mph. Tools and strengths to work with for the 2016 grad.

6-foot-2, 205-pound 2015 grad with big frame and current strength. Ran a 4.78 from home to first while his 40-yard dash time was 5.19. Offensively, starts from a balanced stance with small stride to load. Hands get work back, bat path stays level through to contact with more emphasis on pulling the ball. Lower half works, tends to spin off, showed strength with an exit velocity of 83 mph. Defensively the arm works. Was clocked at 79 mph from the outfield.
