Physical: Strong, durable 5-foot-9, 175-pound build. 7.72 runner in the 60YD.
Offensively: LHH. Bent, even stance at shoulder-width, as the barrel starts pre-set. Utilized a short leg-lift stride to initiate his swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Worked downward behind the ball at times over a middle of the field approach. Developing feel for the top-hand, up to a T71MPH EV via Trackman. Reached an estimated 225FT on the best blast.
Defensively: The primary 1B showed adequate footwork around the bag and centered the touch with soft glove presentation. Able to quicken the release for an accurate 71MPH arm-strength across the INF; lower posture.
Physical: 5-foot-8, 170 pounds; Full, sturdy build. 7.91 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Lifts hands with a toe-tap for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive 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 81 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while showing choppy feet. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 73 MPH. OF - 75 MPH.
OF/1B, (2025) Central Catholic, PA. 5-foot-8, 170-pound strong solid build. During batting practice, the left-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 84 mph. (60.3 mph bat speed average). (17.3 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced stance with a controlled load, then used a toe tap stride. Had average bat speed and an an inside-out loose swing plane. Solid from the outfield, he displayed a position velocity of 67 mph; had sure developing hands, smooth developing footwork, and a natural developing exchange. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic developing. Clocked a 60 time of 7.84 at the event.
