Physical: Advanced 6-foot-2, 200lb frame with feel for the body. 7.08 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Taller, upright stance, as the barrel worked at a 45 over the shoulder. Utilized a simple leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Worked to drive the ball towards the pull-side of the field with fast hands and leverage available. Consistent sweet-spot rate (55%) that pushed into the T88 mph exit velocity range via Trackman.
Defensively: Projects as a corner outfielder with quality reads off the bat and multiple routes in the arsenal. Fielded softly off his left side and reached back for a 79 mph arm-strength positionally (H ¾). Balanced at the touch using a wider base.
Physical: Athletic, next level 6-foot-2, 200lb frame. 7.04 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Upright, calm stance, as the hands started pre-set to begin. Utilized a crouched move on time with a short lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat, simple path into the hitting zone. Early connection and strong impact at the front of the plate. Recorded a T95 mph bat-exit velocity during his round with advanced rotational skill set in the box. Able to do damage on the middle-in pitch with fast hands.
Defensively: The outfielder featured quality reads off the bat and created depth before attacking downhill. Fielded off his left side and setup the base; released up to 77 mph from his position (H ¾ slot, accurate).
Physical: 6-foot-2, 190 pounds; Long, muscular build. 7.05 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet narrow; upright bat position. 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 flat swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 95 MPH via Trackman. Showed adjustability in the swing, able to get on plane with any pitch.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while showing active feet. Hands are underneath the body with a delay in transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 79 MPH.
