6/22/16- The 5-foot-9 180-pounder shows a good lower half at the plate with feel for the barrel. Although Waxler pulled off the ball during the game, he still consistently found the barrel. There is a lot to like in the swing, especially the use of the lower half and the hand-eye, which will continue to improve in the games with more at-bats against high levels of pitching. Defensively, Waxler has soft hands and made several nice plays in the game. He will be interesting to follow as he gets stronger, quicker and has more at-bats.

1/17/15 Florida Preseason ID Showcase - Very young body that hasn't developed yet. Swing has some length with some quickness and good path. Stays inside ball with line drive gap to gap approach. Exit speed was 76. He fielded the routine ground ball during infield and his throws were around the bag with enough arm strength and accuracy. Ran a 8.3 60 yard dash.
