Notes

Comments

2/18/23

Physical: 6-foot-5, 210 pounds; Athletic, long build. 7.31 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. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a a finish around the back.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 102 MPH via Trackman. Strong lower half which created loud contact. Gap to gap power potential.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot.  OF - 83 MPH. 

10/01/22

Physical: Above-average 6-foot-5, 210lb frame with leverage. 7.26 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, open stance, as the hands start just outside the shoulder with quality height. Utilized a stretched leg-hang stride to initiate the swing through a whippy, lifted path into the hitting zone towards an intentful finish. Maintained a somewhat taller posture during BP, but drove the ball for distance up to 331 feet. Tacked on a T95 mph exit velocity from a pull-side approach.

Defensively: The primary outfielder featured corner projection, bending at the waist with a flat back and soft glove-hand. Fielded off his right and set the body towards the target, using some hip-coil for a full range of motion. Reached back for a 79 mph arm-strength out of H ¾.

6/14/22

Physical: High-waisted, strong 6-foot-4, 195lb frame. 7.02 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, slightly open stance, as the hands operated with easy rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a leg-hang stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Created plenty of barrel-whip and leverage at the front of the plate, allowing for hard contact to the pull-side of the field at T96 mph exit (89 mph AVG). Easy standout with middle of the order intangibles.

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated corner appeal with lengthy footsteps and ability to go and get it in the gap. Trusted arm-talent gives him the chance to stick in right field, up to 80 mph with some carry (H ¾ slot).

2/12/22

Physical: 6-foot-3, 175 pounds; Long, proportional build. 7.11 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Extended take back of the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a downward swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 93 MPH via Trackman. Good hand speed with a strong upper half.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while showing choppy feet. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot.   OF - 77 MPH.

6/22/21

Physical: 6-foot-2, 165 pounds; Long, lean build. 7.75 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 swing path that gets around the ball with a late one hand finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 85 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a compact setup; walks into ready position while aggressive. Hands are soft while standing up during transfer. Moderate arm circle  from a standard 3/4 arm slot.    OF - 71 MPH.
