Scout Day Spotlight: Jeremy Fallon

 

Physical: Athletic, projectable 5-foot-11, 172lb frame with two way-abilities evident. 7.22 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Narrow, upright stance with the hands above the shoulder, getting into the front side with weight shift and drift outwards towards the pitcher at the land; utilized a slightly uphill barrel path to enter the hitting zone with lift after impact. A barrel pump created rhythm and allowed him to be consistently on time, posting a bat-exit velocity of T87 mph via Trackman (67% fly ball rate). Found most success driving the ball from a powerful position through the LCF gap for extra-bases, working his way up to a 251 foot batted ball distance at his peak. Feel for extension and singles/doubles PWR at the moment. 

Defensively: The third baseman showcased a good tempo, chopping the feet quickly before approaching at an event, bent position with the hands operating out in front, funneling inward. Adequate pace and released from a lengthy, strong H ¾ slot (81 mph) adding the ability to make plays on the run from different slots/quickness.

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with the feet spread; pause at the side rocker and top of the stack showing off a balance position before gaining tilt into footstrike at H ¾, entering the zone at 78-80 mph (1857rpms AVG via Trackman) on the FB. Mixed a two-plane, swing/miss 64-66 mph CB flashing up to 18 inches of depth and 21 inches of horizontal shape, missing barrels when ahead in the count.
