60: 7.72, Position Velocity: C: 77, Exit Velocity: 87, Pop Times: 1.81-1.97

C continued to show his ability to catch and throw while showing tools to be a high level receiver.  5-10, 190-pounder features a short, athletic profile w/ well-proportioned present strength throughout, some physical projection.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into shift of weight, knee to knee stride to slightly open w/ short hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Had a tendency to drop his hands out here early on, worked on correcting it and led to more consistent hard contact as the event went along.  Pull oriented approach, learning to keep his hips through the baseball.  Projectable pull power.  Defensively, presents a big low target w/ no glove rest.  Target tends to creep up in his actions stance w/ runners on.  Tools to receive w/ strong forearms, has an idea of how to frame the baseball.  Shows mobility behind the plate w/ ability to box the baseball.  Learning to keep the chest strong over his frontside consistently to keep the ball in front.  As a thrower, features a quick release w/ projectable arm strength to the target.  Shows ability to put the throws on the bag.

7/05/17

60 Time: 7.78, Pop Time: 1.96-2.05, Position Velocity:  C-74, Exit Velocity: 81
5-9, 180-pound, RHH hits from a wide and even stance, uses a short stride to get loaded, hands go back and get a little lower, lower half creates a strong base but doesn't always clear the hips,  swing plane begins a little steep but can flatten out through contact, oppo approach.  Defensively, showed very quick hands and footwork behind the plate, gets rid of the ball with an efficient exchange and a short arm action through a high 3/4 slot.  throws were pretty accurate and popped some sub-2 pop times.

Max FB: 81, FB: 77-81, CB: 66-68
5-9, 180-pound, RHP uses a very slow and calculated motion, slow tempo that builds to quickness only at the very end, stays tall and strides in line but can fall toward the 1B line at times, arm action is short and quick through a near over-the-top slot.  Fastball is mostly straight but can bear down on a righty, curveball showed some sharp 12/6 to 11/5 action through the zone.
