New England Procase

5-foot-10, 170-pound, wiry strong, athletic frame. A fast twitch athlete, has room for added weight. A right-handed hitting outfield, at the plate, higher hand set, open to even with lower half. The swing is level through the zone, creating line drives, had a tee exit velocity of 86 mph. Runs above average, athletic stride, clocked at 6.93. Defensively, threw 82 mph, arm action is clean from a higher slot. The approach could be a tick quicker. Look for athleticism to take off at some point, can go behind the plate as well, brings some value

5-foot-10, 160-pound, wiry strong athletic frame. Athletic actions and movements, fast twitch athlete. A right-handed hitting catcher/outfielder, showed well in all areas. At the plate, wider, slightly open stance, hands are loose set above the shoulders, loose with pre pitch movement. For timing uses a small pick up and put down, swing works downhill and flattens through the zone. The approach was more middle to the pull side, baseball comes off the bat with ease, had a tee exit velocity of 81 mph and ran 6.91. Defensively, quick feet and exchange from behind the plate, arm was clocked at 74 mph with a pop time of 2.10-2.16. The hands look to be soft on the catch, foot work is simple, right-foot replaces left foot. From the outfield, arm was clocked at 80 mph, used more of a step behind with footwork on the transfer. The arm works out of a higher slot, throwing downhill. Love the athletic ability, looks to compete at a high level, big future.

Tee Exit Velocity- 81 mph
Arm Velocity- 74 mph-C, 80 mph-OF
Sixty-Yard Dash- 6.91

5-foot-9, 135 pounds, skinny, wiry build that should hold muscle as he enters high school. Sloped shoulders and well-proportioned. Solid runner for his age posting a 7.66 sixty-yard dash. Throws from a higher ¾ slot. Still developing as an outfielder but is beginning to show comfort reading the ball off the bat. Decent hands and footwork. The arm was clocked as high as 72 MPH from the outfield. At times, the body gets out in front of the arm, causing his throws to lose some velocity, but when inline he gets downhill with accuracy. Offensively, he has an unorthodox stance but showed above average bat to ball skills for his class. His feet are spread wide with a slight knee bend. His hands start high and forward at the shoulders before rocking back into a hitting position. He is balanced and controlled, looking to spray the ball to all fields. Ciafone has a bright future ahead of him once he hits high school.
