60: 7.37 INF Velo: 75 Exit Velo: 85
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound lefty-swinging shortstop was the youngest of his position group. Clapp went 0 for 4 (2 BB) w/ 3 quality at bats in 7 plate appearances while scoring 2 runs and driving in 1. Barreled the baseball to all fields w/ gap to gap power in BP. Showed advanced balanced approach at plate in game action. Defensively, Clapp showed to be a plus defender w/ great hands, smooth movement patterns, and quick transitions. Showed better range than 60 time indicated. Needs to develop agility to go w/ lean, proportional strength frame. Profile projects to be sure-handed infielder w/ high-ceiling lefty bat.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Notre Dame commit continued to expand his resume making his second PBR Future Games appearance. At the dish, relaxed, balanced stance with slightly open setup and loose hands. Small leg kick with great rhythm and timing, proving to be one of the most consistent swings from the left side. Consistent heavy dose of line drives with some gap to gap upside (Max exit velo: 91.7 mph; Max Distance: 340 ft per Trackman). Generates good bat speed (Max: 72.7 mph; Avg: 69.1 mph per Blast) and promising rotational data (Max: 15.5 G per Blast). Balanced approach drawing three walks and feel for barrel slashing a single thru the 6-hole vs Kentucky. Great instincts and tools up the middle with soft, quick hands and precise transitions. Good feel defensively and high baseball IQ.
