2/22/15- 5-foot-9, 163-pound short, muscular, fast-twitch left-handed hitting outfielder was one of the surprises of the Gurnee Preseason I.D. Collins hasn’t played baseball in high school, focusing on football and track, but has obvious tools. Ranked No. 210 in Illinois’ 2016 class. Impresses with running ability and bat speed. Ran 4.10 from home to first, plus runner, lowest time to first at the event. Produced 86 mph exit velocity off the tee from short bat path, gets occasional extension. Hits from a closed setup, hands start forward, load back smoothly, short, level bat path, cuts swing off a bit, but makes solid contact, line drives up the middle. Threw 78 mph in the outfield from short, high ¾ arm slot with accuracy, good carry on throws, athletic arm action, fields the baseball cleanly, plays through it, fluid actions. Collins may be raw, but has the necessary tools to play baseball at the next level.
