6/13/23

Physical: 6-2, 205 pounds; Broad shouldered, sturdy build. 7.72 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a downward swing path with a a high finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 94 MPH via Trackman. Hard hit rate stands out, more power in the tank.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; utilizing a traditional primary position while showing active feet. Hands are off to the side with a delay in transfer. Short take back from a low 3/4 arm slot. 2.20-2.29 pop times. C - 69 MPH. INF - 70 MPH. Also showcased at 1B also.

3/04/23

Physical: Mature/projectable 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame. 7.96 runner in the 60YD.

Offensively: RHH. Even, rhythmic stance, as the hands operate loosely over the shoulder. Utilized a leg-kick stride with some forward weight-shift through a slightly uphill, extended path into the hitting zone. Showed some rotational parts with max intent to the pull-side. Recorded a T92MPH EV, up to an estimated 331FT.

Defensively: The primary backstop displayed a soft receive from an LKD setup. Pop times ranged between 2.11-2.21 with a fluid 69MPH arm-strength (H ¾) that was exchanged by his throwing ear. More to come.

10/15/22

Physical: High-waisted, strong 6-foot-2, 195lb frame. 7.83 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Spread, lower-half dominated stance, as the hands begin high over the backside. Utilized a deep toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill, sweeping path into the hitting zone. Plenty of bat-speed and torque at the plate, delivering a loud XBH approach to the pull-side. Recorded a T95 mph exit velocity and 340 foot distance, middle of the order type.

Defensively: The primary catcher featured a soft receiving skill set with thumb-up positioning. Pop times ranged between 2.13-2.17 using efficient, directional footwork towards the bag. Accurate ¾ slot at release for a 68 mph arm-strength.

6/12/22

Physical: Even proportioned, leveraged 6-foot-1, 180lb frame. 7.28 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Stretched start at the shoulder from a wider position; deep load and high leg lift stride to initiate the swing through a violent slightly uphill path. Tall finish and fly ball/lofty approach to the pull-side of the field. Some raw parts, producing a 332 foot batted ball distance at his peak and 75% sweet spot rate. Got the barrel to the front of the plate often. 

Defensively: The outfielder featured shuffled feet around the ball and even setup at the fielding window. Transitioned by lining shoulders to target, drove off the backside with a quick arm from a shorter H ¾ slot (68 mph peak).

7/13/21

Physical: Strong, larger, well-proportioned 6-foot-1, 185lb frame. 7.67 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Compact, even stance as the hands operated by the shoulder with slight rhythm. Utilized a direct lift and replace stride to initiate a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone, able to slot the hands early at the rib cage. Hit into a semi-stiff, adjustable front-side, accruing a 30% line drive rate (via Trackman) while staying inside the ball at impact. Handled the inner half of the plate with a middle of the field, pull-side approach during BP; posted a T83 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak with a near 280 foot batted ball distance (mostly singles power, some leverage in advantage counts). 

Defensively: The third baseman featured adequate actions on the defensive side of the ball. Maintained a moderate posture, moving around with a purpose early in routes. Fielded out in front with right, left footwork and released on-time from a shorter H ¾ slot across the diamond (61 mph arm).
