Cottone

Athletic 5-foot-9 and 162 pound LHH outfielder who ran a 7.27 60 and a 4.31 home-to-1B. Offensively- Sets up with feet even and weight slightly over the back leg; up-down bat waggle for timing with little separation. Leg kick with slight transfer towards the front leg. Moderate lower half effort with hands exploding through the zone. Spreads the ball around with line drive results. Exit velocity peaked at 86 MPH off the tee. Additional lower half effort and staying behind the ball longer will increase power potential. Defensively- Controlled approach; fields ball outside lead leg with a quick turn shuffle into his release. Arm action is long and works throigh a high 3/4 arm slot with a top velocity of 77 MPH.  LF/CF projection with some additional foot speed being a goal.
