Scouting Report
5-foot-11 163-pounds, lean body, athleticism stood out. Plenty of room to add strength and size. Some fast twitch in his movements. Arguably had one of the best showings of the day across the board. Starts in an athletic base, slightly open. Uses knee turn leg kick to transfer energy. Level/ slightly downward swing plane, finishing low. Short to the baseball. Good round of BP with a mid pull approach, hitting a ball over the LF fence. Consistent solid contact with 89mph exit velocity. Had the top OF arm at 83mph with good actions and athleticism. Ran an event high 6.79 60-yard dash. Should be a solid follow in the OF going into the summer.
5-foot-10, 145-pound frame. Athletic build. Has been on our radar since the summer and has continued to improve, posting a very solid 6.90 60-yard dash and 89 mph exit velocity. Combination of athleticism and ability to generate power are very intriguing. Showed well across the board on this day. Offensively, Terry nearly bars his arm, but does an outstanding job keeping the barrel in the zone with a flat plane. Makes a significant forward move and could benefit from swinging in a smaller window. Feet work well to the baseball in the outfield and fields the ball with confidence, but shows a slower release. Lower half is extremely closed, sapping some velocity (83 mph from OF).
5-foot-10, 145 pound frame. Athletic, lean, projectable build. Terry showed well in our first extended look at him, turning in a 6.84 60-yard dash (2nd best in the event) and 83 mph outfield velo. He's the right type of athlete and just needs to continue adding strength to drive the ball more consistently. At the plate Terry starts with his back leg slightly internally rotated. Takes a long stride resulting in a wide base. Barrel works away from body as hands work to the ball. Gets on plane early, flat swing path; 75 mph exit velocity. Can handle any position in the outfield defensively. Moves fluidly and confidently. Solid footwork. Very whippy arm action and impressive arm speed.
