Scouting Report
Body: 5-foot-9, 162-pound squared up, athletic frame
Run: 4.55 home to first
Hit: Right-handed hitter with a wide base and front to back sway load. Gets to rear side with slight coil. Stride has back to front low lift. Hands at shoulder level with movement to load. Barrel has small wrap. Bat speed and strength evident with first swing. Direct path with some lift. Follow through is extended and clean to one hand. Ball jumps with an exit velocity 96.5. Would consider O'Connor a top follow in the State.
Power: Yes. Creates a good kinetic chain. I see great potential for him.
Arm: 80 mph across the diamond. Over the top with demonstrated strength. Quick arc to easy release. Accurate on throws from all arm angles Catcher: Velocity of 72 and pop time of 2.03. Block body type.
Defense: Great feel with hand/eye. Quick feet and positioning to ball. Played through back hand with momentum. Catch/gather to release with rhythm. Catcher: Good energy. Aggressive movements, momentum glide through throw. Firm confident hands. Very projectable as catcher.
