TOP PERFORMER REPORT
Winter Open (February 11, 2018) Livingston stands 5-foot-11, 170-pounds with a lean but strong appearance. The current sophomore ran a 7.49 60-yard dash on lasers, that time should slowly start to improve as he matures physically. At the plate he uses a shoulder width setup, back elbow high with looseness to his hands in the pre-pitch. He uses a back load, short front side stride, compact path to the ball, barrel works slightly uphill with a tighter finish. Would like to see barrel stay in the zone a little longer with more extension. 83 mph exit velocity showing signs of power projection in the future. Defensively, active fluid lower half, soft quick hands, throws from a high 3/4 slot, infield arm-strength was 76 mph. Pitching, currently plenty to like from Livingston on the mound. Quick tempo using a long side-step, hands swing high around his head for rhythm, shoulders and hips show advanced separation, stays on the power-line releasing the ball from a high 3/4 slot. Fastball was mostly 80-81 mph with some angle, occasional arm-side run. Curveball sat in the mid-60's, mostly loose with 10/4 shape backing up. Once he gets his release point more out-in-front with the CB he will see more velocity, bit and depth. Overall, we left very impressed with the Long Island prospect. There's bat-speed, hand-speed, and some signs of athleticism. It's still early so most of his numbers will improve when we see him again this summer.
