Future Games

A left-handed hitter, smooth swing, gap to gap approach, an above average runner at 6.89. The hands are soft defensively, turns it with ease from both sides of the bag. Game 1-Produced a pull side double to right, lined out to third in first, going opposite on a tough curve ball. Game 2- Collected another extra base hit, hung on a curveball, drove it deep to center. Game 3, continued to play at a very high level, solid at bats and looks to be able to play all three infield positions. Plays at a very high rate of speed, going to be a good one.

6-foot-170-pound, average athletic frame,  sloped shoulders, with room for added weight gains. Body works with easy effort, smooth actions and movements. A left-handed hitting middle infielder, at the plate, has a fluid level swing through the zone, more of a pull approach. The exit velocity was up to 92 mph, hard contact in batting practice. An average runner ran a 7.0 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, the glove is soft, good flow to both directions, getting off the blocks quickly. The arm has strength to it, clocked at 80 mph, plenty of flight and carry across the diamond. Can spin it from both sides of the bag, footwork is advanced. With additional added strength game will continue to climb.

5-foot-11, 165-pound, average athletic frame, sloped shoulders, longer neck, with room for added weight gains. A left-handed hitting middle infielder, showed very well on both sides. At the plate, feet are even, a taller relaxed setup, hands are loose at the shoulders. The lower half is under control, small pick up with weight shift, hands are back on foot strike, hitting against a firm front side. The swing is level through the zone, finishing with two-hands at shoulder height. The approach is more middle to pull side, creating natural loft and lift, is behind the baseball on contact. The swing works with easy effort, had an exit velocity of 91 mph, baseball comes off the bat well. An average runner, ran a 7.0 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, glove is soft out front, stays through the baseball, feet move throughout. The backhand is clean, and performed correct. The arm works from a 3/4 slot, clocked at 77 mph, has more in there, slight recoil on finish. Love the feel he has for the game.
