Uncommitted Senior Spotlight: Caleb Gipson

Position: 3B

Physical Profile/Projection: 6-2, 175lbs. Broad shouldered, projectable young prospect with physical upside. 

Hitting: Stance at the shoulders, slightly open, some bend in the knees. Controlled hand load to a deeper position over the back foot. Quick hands, direct path. Level through finish, pull side heavy BP with some feel for the barrel present.

Power: 85 mph EV. Could see an increase in power and consistency as he matures.

Defense: Solid defensive profile. Smooth footwork, consistent at the edges of his range. Confident hands, fluid actions. 

Arm: 72 mph INF Velo. Some carry present from a higher release point. 

Speed/Agility: 7.12 sixty time (laser). A tick down from an earlier scout day, will consistently end up right around 7. 

Position/Body: INF; 6-1 170lbs. Proportional build, some lean strength present. Broad square shoulders. Clear projection remaining. 

Hitting: Balanced stance at the shoulders, relaxed hands start from a position just off the shoulder. Short leg lift and medium stride time the swing. Hands load straight back and launch from a position over the back foot. Quick hands take a steep path to attack before leveling off through contact. Two hand finish.  

Power: 85 mph EV (Trackman). Showed some ability to drive the gaps. Physical approach and quick hands could see the power trend up.

Defense: Smooth footwork, confident hands. Let a couple balls get in on him at the scout day but showed quick hands and clean exchanges. Easy actions, athletic enough to play at a faster pace in game. 

Arm: 72 mph INF velo. Higher release produced moderate carry. Packing exchange and full arm action.

Speed: 7.04 sixty time (laser). Sneaky good runner, clean run.
