Lamari

Fall Prospect Games (October 11 & 12, 2015) Stands at 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, an athletic body build. He ran a 60 yard dash time of 7.28. Defensively – In the infield he has good mechanic.  He fields low with his hands open out in front.  He has a smooth transfer, shuffling his feet before releasing the ball to the target.  He throws with a sidearm to low 3/4 arm slot from the infield and has an arm strength of 73 mph. Offensively – At the plate he sets up very relaxed and balanced, small to no stride, hands in a good hitting position by back shoulder.  He has minimal load, but a strong player.  His swing plane is straight to the ball with a slight upward tilt swing through the ball.  He gets good/long extension with a nice high finish.  His exit velocity was 80 mph.   A player with lots of power at the plate…lots of upside.

Lamari stands 5-Foot-8, 160-pound and shows a slender athletic build. Defensively- From 3B the fields the ball straight on with his glove out in front of his knees, slightly deep, soft hands. Offensively- At the plate he stands open with his hands relaxed. Loads back to the catcher, short path to the ball, mostly level compact swing with consistent contact.  Needs to continue building overall strength at the plate, swing is fluid, signs are there - 81 mph exit velo off tee.. Home to first time is 4.25.
Pitching -  From the mound he uses a side step, quick jerky knee lift about his belt, rotates shoulders, arm action is deep and longer, throws from a very high over-the-top slot, upright on release. Needs to lengthen out his stride more and get back extension and he will be just fine.
