Physical: Strong, durable 6-foot-3, 205lb frame. 7.42 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, even stance, as the hands operated stretched, slightly behind the head. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to unload the barrel through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Posted pull-side approach while hitting into the front side with some start/stop available and loud 96 mph bat-exit velocity through the full range of motion, up to 344 feet peak. Easy doubles juice to the big part of yard. 

Defensively: The corner infielder chopped the feet with feel around the bag. Set himself before releasing from a compact base, bend in the knees and finish from H ¾ slot (83 mph arm at head height).

Pitching: RHP - Normal delivery with tall and fall action into stride length down the slope. Attacked from direct OTT slot, working 74-77, T78 mph with some spin on the FB. Added 64-66 mph CB for strikes and killed 872rpm splitter at arm-speed.

Physical: Hulking 6-foot-3, 195lb frame with lower half strength. 7.42 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Wider, coiled stance showing good direction out over the plate. Stayed under the ball in the hips with some leverage on the ball at the point of attack. Turned violently over the back hip through a flat path and recorded a 96 mph bat-exit velocity. Will fit nicely in the middle of the order with a solid rotational skill set and ready power (344 foot distance). 

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured choppy feet from a medium base on the approach. Fielded out in front and took his time on the shuffle, unleashing from a carrying OTT slot the bag at head height (83 mph arm). 

Pitching: RHP - The righty started slightly offset off the middle of the rubber. Adequate pace and could repeat down the slope as the FB ranged from 75-76 mph. Mixed a sweeping mid-60’s slider that was commanded in the zone (100%) and flirted with a developing upper-60’s knuckleball.

Physical: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds; Muscular, full build. 7.64 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a late one hand finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 94 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; static during pre-pitch while plays low to the ground. Hands are out in front with a seamless transfer. Short take back  from a standard 3/4 arm slot.   INF - 81 MPH. 

Physical: Projectable, durable 6-foot-3, 195lb frame with strength carried all over. 7.45 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Wide, even stance at a low postured attack with a slight bend into the backside knee. Utilized a lift and replace stride outwards towards the pitcher allowing for a flat path into the hitting zone, staying on plane for a long time through impact. Posted a T94 mph bat-exit velocity with a well timed, explosive rotation that produced good rotational scores via Blast Motion and found success driving the ball on a line to both gaps. Posted an impressive 77% line drive rate during his batting practice round en route to a 67% hard hit rate, pointing towards middle of the order consideration at the next level. 

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured a low, wide base at the fielding window with some comfortability moving to the glove hand side. Soft hands that operated loosely out in front of the middle of his body, scooping inward and exchanging with an accurate release from H ¾ (80 mph arm). Able to stay low on double play feeds and stay connected on the run.
