6/13/23

Physical: 5-10, 160 pounds; Athletic, slight build. 6.95 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Extended take back of the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a a high finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 86 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while utilizing a quick first step. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 76 MPH.

2/05/23

Physical: 5-foot-10, 160 pounds; Athletic, slight build. 7.26 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Drops hands on the way back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a two handed finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 91 MPH via Trackman. Did a great job of getting on plane early and staying on plane throughout the swing.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while showing choppy feet. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 80 MPH. Displayed fluid actions getting to the ball.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 76 MPH, while sitting 75-76 MPH; arm side run. CB: 70-71 MPH; late action. Showed good command arm side.


7/19/22

Physical: Athletic, high-waisted 5-foot-9, 160lb frame. 7.56 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Spread, bent stance at even, as the barrel starts over the backside. Utilized a simple lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through an uphill path towards a two-handed finish. Some tilt on the rear-hip, able to create a lofty approach to the pull-side gap. Recorded a T81 mph exit velocity via Trackman, up to a 302 foot max distance during his round.

Defensively: The primary outfielder featured direct footwork with a downhill chest angle. Fielded off his left side and delivered an accurate 74 mph arm-strength from his position (H ¾ slot). Projects to handle a corner role.

2/13/22

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 150lb frame. 7.59 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Wider, balanced stance as the hands showed rhythm at shoulder height. Utilized a leg-lift with a shoulder hinge inward while getting into the scap for the load. The barrel initiated through a flat path into the hitting zone towards a comfortable two-handed finish on the backside. Line drive approach with some top hand manipulation resulting in a 57% sweet spot rate during his round. Went backside on occasion too when pitched there, 80 mph exit velocity. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder worked hard in the routes, always moving and trying to get in a more advantageous position at the window. Throws carried momentum downhill with a 75 mph arm-strength from his position (long arm-swing).


8/03/21

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-8, 145lb frame with developing actions. 7.84 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Wider, balanced attack as the hands played in rhythm by the shoulder. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate the bat head through a slightly uphill, immediate path into the zone. Produced a short, inside out swing that worked up to a T77 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak (via Trackman). Hit behind the ball en route to a 44% fly ball rate during his round for a near 260 foot batted ball distance (singles power). Natural feel for the barrel and room to continue increasing measurables as he adds strength/intent. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder generated early reads off the bat with aggressive footwork while playing downhill. Gathered cleanly while shuffling in-line to the target, and released from a H ¾ slot with accuracy to the target (corner OF projection, 69 mph arm). Longer arm-swing and extra velo coming.


2/13/21

Physical: 5-foot-8, 140LBS. 8.12SEC 60-Yard Dash.

Offensively: RHH. Upright stance with feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Hands begin up near the ear and slightly work back during the load. Barrel is flat through the hitting zone. Not much of a weight transfer, with a quick up and down stride. 

Defensively: Primary OF. Aggressively attack the ground ball. As he fields the ground ball, glove works up to chest height. Once transferred to the throwing hand the arm goes through a long arm swing. Uses a crow hop during the exchange to gather momentum towards the target.
