Defense: In the OF he gets around the ball and comes through it hard. Gets good momentum but has to reset feet to make throws. Showed quick feet at 1B and ability to quickly get to his throwing motion.
Run: 7.79 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Rhythmic delivery. Uses an over the head hand pump and syncs it with his higher knee lift. Drifts down the mound and opens up his front side early in the delivery. Finishes online with home but weight falling off to the 1B side of the rubber.
Arm Action: RH. Unique arm action. Smaller arm circle that stays above the shoulder for a longer duration. Comes out of the H 3/4 slot. Arm accelerates late in the delivery.

Brayden Mantooth, Paloma Valley  (CA), 2023
Positional Profile: SS/3B
Body: 5-7, 140-pounds. Medium frame with present athleticism.
Hit: RHH. Straight up and athletic in stance that is pre-engaged with back side. Slowly gathers and gets into a slight coil. Utilizes a mild leg lift. Higher elbow into hand load/pullback.  Steeper plane to the ball. Lets the ball get deep and gets hands inside the ball. Resulted in many up the middle/oppo hits.
Power: 84 mph exit velocity. Pre-swing body movements help maximize his strength in his swing. Tons of room for bat speed gains.
Arm: RH. INF - 71 mph. OF - 78 mph. Longer arm action that comes out of a higher slot. In the OF gets good air under his throws at times getting to the bag without a one hop. In the INF arm action is a little shorter and quicker. Mostly accurate throws.
Defense: In the OF he attacks the ball and comes through it nicely. Uses momentum to get off a big crow hop which helps give him more on throws. INF he moves well to his glove side and takes some unnecessary steps before release.

Power: 85 mph exit velocity. With some strength and bat speed gains, gap to gap power will come soon.
Arm: LH. OF - 80 mph. Solid actions in getting to the ball with getting around and through it. Unnecessary stutter steps after receiving the ball makes him slower to release.
Defense: Decent arm for level as it flashed good carry. Uses a larger crow hop that sets up feet and resets momentum. Throws had some armside tail but that didn't affect accuracy.

Marshall Minor, Beckman (CA), 2023
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Long and lean with a larger frame that can fill out.

Hit: RHH. Slightly open and upright in stance. Simple forward stride but starts movements early. Hands work back as the bat works more horizontal and flat.  Smooth repeatable stroke that works on a level plane. Good feel for the barrel. Produced many LD's through the middle of the field in BP.
Power: 82 mph exit velocity. Good foundation with swing mechanics will produce tons of LD singles. Power will come with size and strength gains.
Arm: RH. OF - 76 mph. Short and quick arm action that releases to a lower elbow 3/4 slot. Throws upward to get more carry. Mostly accurate one hop throws.
Defense: At times fielded the ball with the wrong lead foot but attacks the ball and showed good defensive movements.

Body: 5-6, 130-pounds. Medium build with room to fill out
Hit: RHH. Closed with feet in stance with bat relaxed on his shoulder. Rocks back onto his backside in his load.  A long and wrappy swing that works on a flat path. Rolled over at times but stayed through on a couple of LDs. Pull side approach.
Power: 86 mph exit velocity. Will have trouble developing power with his longer swing. Some correction in swing mechanics along with bat speed gains should help.
Arm: OF - 71 mph. Shorter compact arm action. A little longer in getting to release. Accurate one hops.
Defense: Fields the ball cleanly and out in front. Gets around and through it with momentum towards the target.
Run: 7.89 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Clean delivery where he side steps to a high knee lift. No wasted movement or energy going backwards. Drops deep into his back leg and uses gravity to fall forward toward the plate. Opens up front side early, front leg lands straight on with home but falls off to 1B side of rubber.
Arm Action:  Compact arm circle in the back that comes out of the H 3/4 slot. When he gets close to release the arm action becomes more into a slingshot towards home. Consistent arm speed and slots on all pitches.
FB: T72, 69-71 mph. Very consistent with location as all FBs were around the zone
SL: 61-62 mph. When he got extended and out in front with his release it showed good bite
