2/27/21

5-foot-9, 140-pound lean frame. Smooth during batting practice, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 85 mph. Began in an open stance with a controlled load, then used a long stride. Has electric bat speed, flat swing plane and high finish. He created tons of loud contact and found lots of barrels. Gap to gap approach. In the infield, recorded a position velocity of 69 mph. Movements laterally were athletic. While catching, has soft hands, athletic feet, and a twitchy exchange. Showed consistent accuracy to the bag with a loose arm action and a ¾ slot. Athletic on the mound,used a loose arm action and a ¾ arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and uses easy effort. Tall balance point with even shoulders. Lands open with a falling off finish. Threw his fastball 72-73 mph; showed arm side control and sinking action. His 1/7 curveball 60-62 mph showed consistent command and early action. Showed arm side control and fading action on his changeup 65-66 mph.

Exit Velocity: 85 mph

Arm Velocity: 69 mph

Home to 1st: 4.31

5-foot-8, 135-pound, smaller, thin, super athletic frame. Sloped shoulders, having wiry strength. A right-handed hitting two-way player. The stance is very balanced, even feet, relaxed hands at the shoulders, minimal pre-pitch movement. The hands work with ease through the hitting zone, level to up path, keeping the barrel in the zone a long time. The stroke is short and compact, had a tee exit velocity, clocked at 74 mph, with a ton more in there as he physically matures. Runs and moves well, ran a 4.31 home to 1st. Defensively, has a super clean arm, clocked at 76 mph. The feet are quick, little wasted movement, gets rid of the baseball, arm works from a 3/4 slot. The flow and feet  work together. Projects out for me to be an offensive second baseman long term. Off the mound, simple, repeatable delivery, hands start and stay at the mid section. Clean, quick separation, direction is inline, gets out front on release, with good extension. The fastball touched 70 mph, 2-seamer had arm side run to it, with more in there as he gains strength. Both secondary pitches thrown for strikes, curveball topped at 57 mph and changeup at 62-65 mph. Potentially to hit at the next level, can handle the bat, solid contact guy.

Tee Exit Velocity: 74 mph

Arm Velocity: 76 mph

Home to 1st: 4.31

5-foot-4, 115-pound, smaller, thin athletic frame. The shoulders are rounded, athletic actions with room for added mass. A two-way player, hits from the right side, feet are wider than shoulder width, slightly open. The hands are super loose with pre-pitch movement to them. For timing uses a small pick up and put down with stride foot, hands stay back on foot strike. The swing is down to level to up. The barrel stays in the zone, with whip to it, and has and athletic one-handed finish. The approach is more line drive from the middle of the field, tee exit velocity of 74 mph with a ton more in there as he adds strength. Defensively, soft hands, clean feet, arm working out of a natural slot, clocked at 62 mph, will need to add strength and arm speed to stick on left side. Off the mound, arm works with easy effort, repeats the delivery, looks to glide out with good extension on release. The fastball reached 64 mph, with down action to it. The curveball was at 55 mph, with a 64 mph changeup. The changeup was the better of the two secondary pitches. The lower half has more in there, can add to the velocity. Projects for me off the mound at this point, look for velocity to jump at some point.

Tee Exit Velocity- 74 mph
Arm Velocity- 62 mph
Home to 1st- 4.44
