Scouting Report
One of the more impressive players at the event, and is only a ‘22 grad. Strong core strength at the plate as the feet start square in the stance and there is a simple, rhythmic load of the hands. Very simple approach on the front side and the hands have some definite strength now. Really gets extension through contact and the ball just jumps off the barrel (91 mph exit velo off a tee). The swing path has some tilt in it and the approach is definite gap to gap, creating backspin with carry off the bat. The actions are SS really stood out. Very natural actions and everything looked easy and he showed some savvy with the feet. The arm strength is present, already throwing 81 mph across the dirt. A definite big time ‘22 to follow.
High-follow prospect in the 2022 class. Wiry 6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitter with loose, athletic hands. Calm, relaxed presence in the box, advanced rhythm in hand/load, swing works with ease and tempo; generates effortless bat speed at launch. Roped a double down the left-field line in one at-bat.
6-0,175. Stancil operated as a two-way in this game seeing time on the mound as well for the Squeeze. He was 82-83 with easy efficient mechanics and a solid smooth arm path, he showed a breaking ball at 70-71 a couple times but stuck with the fastball for majority of the outing. Offensively Stancil showed strength in the bat and pounded out a few line drives in the gap in this game.
