6-foot-3,210-pound left with strong frame has shown slightly better velocity at previous events (up to 79), arm slot was slightly lower on this occasion (mostly ¾) that produced more arm-side run on his fastball, curveball continues to be a solid pitch thrown for strikes with 1/7 action and very good depth, showed his best changeup to date with very good arm-side action and sink. The velocity gains have yet to come for Conkin, but he has shown good pitchability with is stuff and the ability to get hitters out.

Home-1st: 4.40, Position Velocity:  IF-77, OF-80, Exit Velocity: 84
As a position player, LHH, good size, projects as corner OF. Hits from an open and somewhat narrow stance, squares up with a mid-length stride, uses lower half well, creates lift at contact showing gap to gap power, good barrel awareness, runs well for size. Looks athletic in the OF, plays through the ball, long release, solid arm strength. Athletic 1B with ideal size to play the position, solid footwork around the bag, soft hands, accurate throws.
