Scouting Report

6/15/21

 

Physical: Strong/connected and compact 6-foot, 200lb frame with feel. 8.01 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Tall, open stance with the hands starting high by the head to begin; utilized a short, early lift and replace stride to initiate his swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Able to stay behind the ball with a mostly handsy approach producing lots of success from gap to gap on a line (60% line drive rate via Trackman). Low-effort, high contact operation hitting into a stiff/adjustable front side while working his way up to a T81 mph bat-exit velocity with more available. Notched a near 300 foot batted ball distance on his best swing pointing towards doubles power from time to time with impressive barrel awareness during his round. 

Defensively: The first baseman featured adequate feel around the bag arriving on time to the baseball with slight down chest angles from a moderate approach. Fielded cleanly, funneling inward and getting in line before releasing from ¾ to the target (84 mph arm). 

Pitching: LHP - Started off the left side of the rubber from the stretch-only. Pounded the zone with good pace and balance at the top of the stack, working to the arm-side corner at H 3/4 with consistency at 80-82 mph missing barrels on this date. Mixed a short 67-69 mph breaker at a 1/7 tilt in any count, adding a plus 72-74 mph CH holding a consistent 20 inches of HM/fade to the arm-side. Able to throw CH in any count and kept hitters off balance during his outing.
