Scouting Report

2/15/21

 

Physical: Strong / athletic 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame with good proportions throughout. 7.58 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, crouched setup with the torso slightly over the plate, as the hands showed loose, upright positioning at the shoulder. Utilized a short and quick lift and replace stride with ability to get into the ground early unleashing a whippy, flat path into the hitting zone. Plenty of bat speed present (78.5 mph max) assisting an aggressive 95 mph bat-exit velocity to drive the ball hard all over the park. Peppered the LCF gap en route to a 331 foot max batted ball distance (55% hard hit per Trackman Baseball). A noticeable power ceiling of 25.9 G’s of rotational acceleration should give confidence in a middle of the order role down the line. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured solid receiving abilities with ability to manipulate the thumb under and over the pitch depending on the quadrant (traditional technique). Pop times ranged from 2.01-2.12 with athleticism present in the crouch, good straight line footwork with hips/shoulders in line early, got rid of it from a short “V slot” at a high ¾ release (75 mph). Advanced blocker burying the ball over the plate with smooth lateral movements to the glove hand side.

Physical: 5-foot-10, 175 pounds; strong, athletic build. 7.63 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with hands just above shoulder; short stride gaining some ground with simple load of the hands. strong effort hitting into a stiff front side with very quick into the zone at .14 seconds time to contact with a 3 degree attack angle and stays on the plane well at 80% efficiency.  Consistent hard contact with present pop to the pull side; peak Trackman exit velocity of 95 MPH.
Defensively: Balanced and slightly off set; athletic goot work staying low and getting in line to the target. confident glove with quick, clean transfers; short arm action with accurate throws. 2.07-2.22 pop times. C - 76 MPH. 

 

2/14/20

 

Physical: 5-foot-10, 172-pounds. Average build with athleticism.
Run: 7.77 runner in the 60.
Hit: RHH. Even setup with hands at head height; short take back of the hands with a quiet stride.  Hands are direct from a higher setup; some leveling in the zone with an elevated two-handed finish. Consistent, balanced approach.
Power: 79 MPH raw exit velocity. Hard line drive results that stayed through the middle. .
Defense: 2.16-2.21 pop times. Higher setup behind the plate; exchanges the feet on top of the plate with a slight delay in transfer. Throws stayed on-line with the bag. More efficient with footwork and transfer will take valuable time of pop times.
Arm: C - 68 MPH.
Positional Profile: Strong overall foundation behind the plate with repeatable swing mechanics in the box will allow for an upward progression.
