Showed strong balance point and in line shoulders. Lands soft with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 74-78 mph; had a heavy fastball that showed sinking action and control low in the zone. His 1/7 curveball 69-70 mph; showed consistent command and slurvey action. His changeup 68-70 mph shows command low in the zone and fading action. Worked quick and pounded the zone, showing pitch-ability.

6-foot-2, 215-pound, wider, strong, thick athletic frame. Moves very well for a bigger kid, feet are quick around the bag. A right-handed hitting first baseman, at the plate, wider, spread out approach, hands are loose at shoulders. The swing is level to up, creating lift and loft to the swing. The lower half is under control, looks to stay middle to pull side. The swing has energy to it, consistently at 89 mph for exit velocity, showing hard contact in batting practice and in game play. Around the bag, glove is soft, quick feet on the double play starts, arm is longer and clean, working from a higher slot, clocked in at 77 mph across the diamond. A larger target to throw to, footwork is advanced on all throws. Look for him to continue to rise, will be a good one at he next level.

6-foot-1, 215-pound, big, larger, strong athletic frame. Already filling out,  broad build, showing strength throughout. A right-handed hitting 1st baseman, top tool is ability to swing the bat and serious potential to swing it with power. At the plate, even setup, taller stance, loose hands at the shoulders, more of a flat setup. The hands are back on foot strike, swing is short to contact, at times gets uphill to quick, gets through and has big power to middle to pull side of the field. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 91 mph, took two good rounds of batting practice, baseball jumps off the bat. Runs ok for a bigger kid, ran a 7.43 sixty-yard dash, quick feet. Defensively, moves well around the bag at first, solid target to throw to. The arm has strength, clocked at 77 mph, short and clean on the backside, coming through from a high 3/4 slot.  The glove is soft on picks and the catch, could stay a tick more balanced when fielding. One of the better power bats in the class of 2022, get out and see him.

6-foot-1, 215-pound, strong, thick, wide athletic frame. A right-handed hitting 1st baseman, top tool is the ability to swing the bat and swing it with power. The stance is even, balanced, hands are loose at the shoulders, taller. For timing uses a small leg kick for timing, gains ground, backside transfers and helps with supplying power. The swing path, is level to up, barrel has life and whip out front, more of a pull approach, has natural lift to it. The tee exit velocity is advanced, clocked at 90 mph, hard solid contact in batting practice two very good rounds. Ran a 7.76 sixty-yard dash, moves and plays faster than times. Defensively, gets off the bag well at first base, proper quick drop steps starting the double play. The arm was clocked at 76 mph, longer path, working out of a higher slot. Shows to have feel and flow, working low to the ground. Look for him to climb big time this year, a dude to watch.

ACADEMIC GAMES II

6-foot, 215-pound right-handed hitting first baseman. Ran a 5.4 home to first at the workout. That will certainly improve as he ages. The glove is solid around first base, and the feet work athletically. Threw 74 mph across the diamond from deep first to third base. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 88 mph as he is strong during the contact. The setup is even in base, front foot gains ground as he makes his way into foot strike. The path is long and strong to contact, uses a 1-handed finish after contact with the ball. I like the swing, bottom half needs to get more under control, but the hands work well with the barrel.

Tee Exit Velocity- 88 mph

INF Velocity- 74 mph

6-foot, 215-pound, thick strong, wide athletic frame. The wrists and hands have above average strength to them, moves well for a bigger player, ran the sixty -yard dash at 7.53. A right-handed hitting first baseman, top tool is his ability to swing the bat, with power potential. The swing is short and quick, path is down to up, rolls the hands late, stays through the baseball. The finish is high above the shoulders. The approach is more from gap to gap, tee exit velocity was clocked at 86 mph, shows to have above average power for his age. Defensively, feet work well around the bag at first base. The hands need to soften, could field out front more. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, average length, clocked at 70 mph. Looks to slow arm down on the finish, stay through release and let it out, has more in there. Continued strength training and overall conditioning will aid in his development. I like the bat to play at the next level.

Tee Exit Velocity- 86 mph
Arm Velocity- 70 mph
