The Future Games features over 400 of the top uncommitted 2021 and 2022 players from across the country at one place and is one of the most heavily scouted events of the year, with all 30 MLB clubs represented and well over 160 college coaches coming each year to follow four days of action.

We will unveil this year's team in the coming week in these profile spotlights, continue to follow us for all of our coverage in the coming weeks.
SCOUTING REPORT
2019 Diamondskills All American Camp
6-foot, 160-pound athletic strong frame. Athletic stance from the right side with a wider slightly open base, simple stride and lands slightly closed. From the left side he takes a similar in line setup with a short stride to a wider base finishing a little more in line. Simple hand load to a strong hitting position with hand speed through the zone and fast bat speed with a short path to an uphill finish. Has an exit velo of 82 mph that will only get better as he adds strength to a strong frame. From behind the plate gains ground well with feet getting in line on throws. Has a quick high exchange to a short arm action with quick arm speed throwing from a high three-quarter arm slot. Was consistently around the bag and had carry on throws with a positional velocity of 78 mph and a pop range of 2.01-2.06. Posted an impressive 60 time of 6.87. Definitely will be a player to watch over the next 3 years as he continues to grow and add strength on an already athletic strong frame.
