Quick Hits & STATISTICAL RELEASE
‘24 SS/C Parker Anderson (Oak Harbor) - Switch hitting INF/C prospect with a nice toolset to work with. Throws well from both defensive spots, giving him some added versatility. Swung it from both sides of the plate which helps the offensive profile. Has a bit more juice from the right side while showing slightly more loft as a LHH. Uncommitted
‘24 OF William Bailey (Olympia) - Extra large frame at 6’5, 200 lbs with long levers and significant projection. Strong arm from the OF with accurate ball flight/carry. Offensively showed more gap to gap power but has chance to add pop quickly as he matures. On the mound pitched 78-80 with CB/CH. Long, full arm path with extension out front. Uncommitted.
‘24 C Jude Kromer (Glacier Peak) - Lean, wiry frame at 5’8, 170. Presents a compact target behind the dish. Quickness out of the crouch with a fast exchange into lower release slot. Best pop time 1.99 on this look. Offensively there’s loft in the swing with an uphill path into contact. Hands stay tight and work inside of the baseball. Uncommitted.
‘25 C Jaylen Kennedy (North Thurston) - Continued his strong 2023 campaign after performing down at LakePoint in Georgia for the 2023 PBR Future Games. Quick & athletic behind the dish. Popped a 1.89 on his best chuck down to 2nd. Offensively showed bat & hand speed. Worked the middle of the diamond with a line drive approach and consistent contact. Uncommitted
‘25 OF/LHP Daniel Porras (Gig Harbor) - 2 way prospect with arm talent 6’1, 170. 84 mph from the OF with clean arm action and true ball flight. Arm works on the mound with a FB up to 83 and 2 different breaking balls that each feature tight spin. Offensively showed a simple, balanced set up with a peak EV of 92.3 and gap to gap power. Uncommitted.
