Scouting Report on Baskerville
David Baskerville C (Eden HS, NY 2015)
Baskerville stands 6-foot-0 175-pounds with an athletic body. At the plate he uses a wide stance, shifting his weight back before the pitch and a very small toe lift. His bat path is slightly inclined through the zone with a nice high extended finish. Impressed in BP. Exit velocity was 84 mph.Catching - He throws from an over the top slot with a clean transfer. His are action goes a little behind his back and if he gets that shorter and more straight back he will see decreased pop times. His times were 2.19-2.25 and pretty accurate. He blocks well staying big and over the ball.

Analysis:
Baskerville has a pure balanced swing from the left side with some power potential. His pop times are solid but not where they need to be to really make create a big buzz. Quicker footwork is the first place to look, arm strength second. This off season is big for Baskerville especially if he hits a workout routine that focuses on his weaknesses.
