Scouting Report
Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 155-pound frame with plenty of twitch and sneaky strength throughout the actions. 6.83 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, slightly open setup with the hands loose and moving rhythmically in front of the shoulder in a slow, circular pattern. Utilized a backwards load right above the shoulder coupled with a controlled knee knock stride allowing for a whippy barrel to enter the hitting zone through a slightly uphill path. The lower half worked smoothly with the upper half synced up early and creating easy violence in each swing during a loud batting practice round. The hands jolted into the zone with some twitch creating occasional home run power to the pull side and natural gap to gap power for consistent extra base hits. Hit into a stiff front side during batting practice recording a 96 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball.
Defensively: The primary shortstop played low to the ground with an advanced feel for rhythm and fluidity through the fielding window. Moved well laterally in the middle of the infield with soft hands that played loose and aggressively out in front. This combination allowed for a quick pace hovering around 4.0 seconds and a strong 83 mph throwing arm with carry that should keep him on the left side at the next level. With 6.83 60-yard speed, it’s easy to see how he plays with advanced range to either side and can also make the play on the run with relative ease in the actions. SS - 83 mph
Physical: 5-foot-9, 155-pounds. Lean, athletic frame.
Run: 6.94 runner in the 60.
Hit: RHH. Balanced stance, slightly bent knees, even setup, hands start at shoulder height with slight movement, brings them back along with medium leg kick Quick hands, catches the ball out in front, slightly uphill plane, finishes high with one hand.
Power: 87 MPH raw exit velocity. Consistent hard contact to pull side.
Defense: OF: Smooth footwork approaching the ball, fields the ball in front of glove foot working into crow hop release, INF: Controlled footwork working ground up, fields ball in middle of the body, funnels ball into stomach, demonstrated range to glove side.
Arm: OF & INF: Long arm swing with high 3/4 slot. INF - 81 MPH. OF - 78 MPH
A lean athletic 5-foot-8, 150 pounds frame. Ran a 6.84 in the 60 yard dash. Offensively- Stands in the box with a tall stance with feet shoulder width apart. Simple load actions. Slight leg lift before attacking the baseball. Quick bat path to the hitting zone. Stays balanced throughout his swing. Good use of lower half. Gets full extension after the point of contact. Top exit velocity 80 MPH. Defensively- Aggressive to the baseball. Gets in a low wide position before fielding the baseball. Gets himself in a good position. Above average funnel action. Quick release from a mid ¾ arm slot. Top throwing velocity 77 MPH. The 2021 graduate is a must follow.
