Stays behind the ball well with strong lower half involvement and gets good extension through contact. Finishes with one hand and recorded an 81 mph exit velocity. Gap-to-gap line drive type hitter with some power to the alleys. Attacks the ball under control in the infield and works through the ball fielding it out in front. Funnels the ball quickly to chest and throws with long arm action from a mid three-quarter slot at 74 mph across the diamond. Early set-up on double play balls and clears hip with fluidity. Showed the ability to throw from a lower slot on double play feeds and slow rollers. Ran a 7.31 60-yard time.

Scouting Report
Brendan Yagesh LHP/1B Urbana (MD)
Long projectable frame at 6-foot-2, 165-pounds. On the mound starts the delivery with a small rocker step, hands have some flow, and gets to a higher balance point gathered over the rubber. Hips and shoulders tilted and elevated moving down the mound, lands on line at foot strike, and tends to fall off slightly to the third base side. Full arm circle and arm has some whip getting through from a high three-quarter arm slot. Fastball was downhill at times with some arm side run and got early contact in game. Breaking ball had 1/7 shape and Yagesh showed the feel to throw it in any count. Hits from the left side with an athletic slightly open stance, uses a small toe tap stride and lands closed, and swings with intent. Bat path is uphill and showed pull side tendency with some power potential built into the swing. Exit velocity was 80 mph. At first base feet worked laterally off the bag, higher posture on approach, and soft hands to catch. Full arm circle and throws from a high three-quarter arm slot at 77 mph. 60 time was 7.85.

Nice gap-to-gap approach with some power present and much more projected. Recorded a 79 mph exit velocity. Athletic and rangy at first base. Moves well and sets up to the ball nicely. Works through the ball with fundamental footwork and showed clean exchanges to second base on double play feeds. Throws with long arm action from a mid to high three-quarter slot at 77 mph. Ran a 7.85 60-yard time. Controlled side-step wind-up and high leg kick into a tall balance point. Strong down-to-out lower half drive off the rubber.
