Notes

Comments

6/13/21

Physical: Twitchy, lean, and athletic 5-foot-10, 150lb frame with evident two-way skills on the bump and at shortstop. 6.90 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Started from an upright, narrow stance at slightly open, while the hands started low as the barrel pointed straight up and down. Utilized a stretch back and up to the shoulder coupled with a controlled lift and replace stride out towards the pitcher. Got to a wide, outside the shoulders landing position and allowing the midsection to turn the barrel through the inner half. Lots of connection/feel at the plate yielding an impressive 67% line drive rate during his batting practice round. Peppered the CF/LCF gap with regularity with obvious ability to hit for AVG in game. Found himself collecting multiple base hits during game action and hit both the FB and offspeed hard. Worked his way up to a 90 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball and added consistent bat-speed at the dish (70 mph). Top of the order traits that transfer over to tough AB’s. 

Defensively: Natural defender on the left side with easy, fluid footsteps beating the ball to the spot, arrived with the left foot on time yielding accurate, soft glove hand actions and quick pace across the diamond. Lengthy movements played with range to his left and right, operating with confidence on the run (85 mph arm, high ¾ slot). 

Pitching: RHP - Began off the middle/left side of the rubber with consistent, up-tempo pace in the delivery. Worked himself up to a medium-high leg lift and released from a moderate, high ¾ slot with no restrictions on the backside. Pounded the zone at 82-84 mph with an aggressive attack for strikes early in the count (73% zone rate) and mixed a hard-sweeping 65-67 mph breaker to miss barrels. A 73-75 mph CH proved effective on occasion with big-fade away from LHH (12 inches HM max) and could be killed at 1357rpms of spin. 


2/07/21

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 150-pound frame with a high-waist (projectability). 6.88 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Narrow, upright stance as the hands started straight up and down at the shoulder with rhythm. Utilized a lift and replace stride with weight shift into a stiff front side at impact. Showcased a leveraged approach driving the baseball back through the middle of the field to the tune of a 91 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball. A 39% line drive rate played admirably during batting practice with ability to get adjustable into the lower half. The bat speed is there (73.4 mph max) hinting at a good success rate against higher velocities. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop was smooth in the middle with a soft glove hand working low off of the left side of his body. Squared the ball up consistently, beating it to its spot at will and kept momentum and pace across the diamond with a live throwing arm (82 mph).

Pitching: RHP - The righty started from the left side of the rubber with slightly above-average pace in the delivery. Drop and drive outward from the top of the stack releasing from a low release height; sat 81-83 mph with a 40% zone rate during his pen. Mixed a tight 61 mph breaker with big time horizontal shape (18.4 inches of horizontal movement) and countered with a 71-72 mph CH with low-spin and a 100% zone rate.


6/15/20

Physical: 5-foot-8, 140 pounds; lean, athletic frame. 7.13 runner in the 60.

 Offensively: RHH. Relaxed, balanced setup; hands work back along with a medium stride for timing. average effort with bat is quick and direct to the ball, flat path; 12 degree bat angle into the zone via Blast Motion. LaSala is able to produce 11.3 G’s of force with an on-plane efficiency of 56%.  Line drive approach; average Trackman exit velocity of  MPH; peak exit velo was 88 MPH.

 Defensively: Walks into a ready position; lets the ball get to him, moves well laterally. fields the ball out in front in the middle of his body, smooth hands; medium arm swing with a low 3/4 arm slot.  INF - 81 MPH.  


2/29/20


Demonstrated quality feel for a lean and athletic 5-foot-8, 140-pound frame with present athleticism in his actions. The right-handed hitter begins with a tall, even stance utilizing a leg-lift stride with occasional weight shift to generate a flat barrel path into the hitting zone. Timing hitter that arrives with the foot right as the swing starts, showing off advanced feel for the barrel during batting practice. Created a short, fluid stroke allowing for gap to gap line drives and an 80 mph bat-exit velocity. Ran a 7.00 showcasing the athleticism he possesses in his frame. The primary shortstop featured advanced footwork with a low center of gravity and quick first step yielding range to both sides creating momentum towards the target upon fielding. Flashed aggressive movements through the ball allowing for an accurate 80 mph arm-strength across the infield out of a ¾ arm-slot. Made the play on the run athletically, showing off comfortability throwing from multiple arm angles.
