7/20/21

Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-10, 190lb frame with connection in the actions. 7.25 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance with the hands preset loosely at the shoulder. Utilized a lift and replace stride with hip coil around the rear hip, able to unleash through a slightly uphill, adjustable path into the hitting zone. A strong lower half set a powerful base, initiating with good sequence from the ground up and recorded a 46% line drive rate via Trackman. Hit behind the baseball well with good bat to ball skills, posting high-level rotational scores and a 343 foot batted ball distance at his peak. Tough out at the plate with quick turns on the inner half and projects to hold down a middle of the order role moving forward at T94 mph bat-exit. 

Defensively: The middle infielder presented the glove hand on-time out in front with right-left footwork guiding the throws accurately towards the target with some pace (glove tap, H ¾ slot, 79 mph arm). Could make plays on the move with feel across his body. Then slid to the outfield, reading the ball off the bat with a soft glove hand funneling from his left side. Got rid and maintained momentum towards the plate with consistent tempo/route awareness (corner OF projection, 79 mph arm).


7/29/20
Physical: 5-foot-10, 180 pounds; strong, sturdy build. 7.21 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even, wide stance with pre-pitch bat waggle; active hands early then raise in load, even knee to knee leg stride. Aggressive lower half with high on-plane efficiency, swing stays in the zone. Works through the middle of the field; peak Trackman exit velocity of 91 MPH.
Defensively: Athletic setup; aggressive approach, fields out front just outside glove foot in OF, choppy steps with soft hands in INF. Clean transfer; short arm swing, low 3/4 arm slot. INF - 69 MPH. OF - 78 MPH.
3/24/19

5-foot-6, 140-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Showcase a compact swing with quick hands and a middle of the field approach. Registered a 79 mph bat exit velocity and ran a 7.51 60-yard dash. Displayed short arm action and a quick release defensively with accurate 64 mph arm strength across the diamond.
