VA/DC PreSeason All-State Central
Spears is 6-3 with a lankier athletic 195 pound frame that has a lot of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a taller slightly open balanced relaxed stance, low leg kick stride on line, short smooth load back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, uphill swing path, some strength at contact, showed a pull approach, swing generates loft to pull side and power is present that way, exit velocity was 94. Behind the plate, quick clean exchange, throws from a three-quarters arm slot, short loose quick arm action, position velocity was 79 and pop times 2.00-2.09. Receiving, works from multiple stances, tracks ball down to up. Ran a 7.35 60 yard dash.
