Scouting Report
Athletic 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame with lean build and room to add strength. Left-handed hitter that hits from tall, open setup with simple leg lift load and short stride, and balance throughout the swing. Line-drive approach with fluid rhythm, level path that creates solid extension through contact with uphill finish and bat speed that produced an exit velocity of 97 mph. Defensively created momentum towards infield with smooth footwork and soft hands out front. Clean exchanges into a short, stiff arm stroke and high-¾ release with accuracy that produced a 79 mph positional velocity from outfield. Posted a 7.46 60-yard dash.
Brock has had a nice summer with the Louisiana Knights highlighted by a big power display over the weekend at the National Program Invitational at Lakepoint. Slaton left the yard for an opposite field grand slam that travelled an estimated 392 feet. Making a strong case to be a big riser this summer.
