10/09/22

Physical: Strong, broad-shouldered 5-foot-10, 185lb frame. 7.36 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Slightly bent, even stance, as the barrel works upright, just outside the shoulder. Utilized a controlled leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat, efficient path into the hitting zone. Plenty of lower-half burst, which blocks off properly at impact with advanced rotational power. Delivered a T95 mph exit velocity and 368 foot distance via Trackman, middle of the order type.

Defensively: The primary backstop sat low in the crouch, alternating a right-knee down and traditional setup with a down-to-up glove load on the receive. Pop times ranged 2.18-2.22, quick transfers, up to 72 mph (H ¾). Body control around the bag at first using a compact base; 76 mph INF arm.

2/12/22

Physical: 5-foot-10, 195 pounds; Sturdy, proportional build. 7.46 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 91 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; utilizing a one knee approach while staying low during receiving. Hands are firm while standing up during transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot. 2.03-2.19 pop times. C - 72 MPH.
