Physical: Muscular, athletic 5-foot-10, 180-pound build. 7.34 runner in the 60YD.

Offensively: RHH. Upright, slightly open stance with quiet parts to the setup. Utilized a simple lift-and-replace straight back to even, initiating his swing through a downward, then flat path into the hitting zone. Matched plane for a T95MPH EV over the middle of the field and showed a whippy finish that produced occasional carry (33% sweet spot).

Defensively: The primary SS featured all the right qualities with natural pace, feel for the internal clock, and a strong arm (85MPH; H ¾). Shifted around the ball using above-average range and threw from multiple angles across his body. Chance to stick on the left side long term.

Pitching: RHP. Starts off of the center of the rubber; pronounced hip-coil that unwinds down the mound. Pitched at 83-85MPH (2057) with hard run to the arm-side. Mixed a two-plane low-70’s CB that flashed major depth for Ks; 9 inch AVG IVB.

Physical: 5-foot-10, 175 pounds; Muscular, lean build. 7.31 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Drops hands on the way back with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a compact swing path with a two handed finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 92 MPH via Trackman. Some pull side power.

Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; uses prep hop while playing low to the ground. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot.   INF - 85 MPH. Showed good range with a plus arm.

Physical: Prototypical 5-foot-10, 175lb athletic frame. 7.57 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Slightly open, upright stance, as the hands show early rhythm. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat, compact path into the hitting zone towards a balanced finish. Quality body control in the box for a gap-to-gap approach and T89 mph exit velocity. Recorded a 293 foot distance when getting extended, up to a 54% sweet-spot rate.

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured a hop in the prep-step, chopping the feet, as the chest angled downhill. Funneled cleanly off the toes, gaining momentum to the target with a quick H ¾ slot across the dirt (79 mph arm). Changed slots on the run.

Physical: Compact 5-foot-8, 145-pound frame with room for additional strength as he matures. 8.31 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Slightly bent, open setup with the hands flashing rhythm above the shoulder in the stance. Utilized a quick toe tap stride in order to initiate the bat head through a flat path and into the hitting zone. Could get negative at times on the attack angle creating groundballs (58%) to the pull-side, recorded a peak batted ball distance of 248 feet per Trackman Baseball while notching an 83 mph bat-exit velocity. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured average footwork on the approach, active tempo and funneled stiff hands into the body after fielding, short and accurate high ¾ slot on the release, handled the play on the run with adequate abilities. 70 mph across the diamond with room for more.
