New England Procase

5-foot-10, 185-pound, average athletic frame. A left-handed hitting outfielder, at plate, balanced loose hands, more of a line drive swing from gap to gap. The hands stay inside the baseball, swing is level, finish at the shoulders.  Recorded a tee exit velocity of 89 mph and ran a 7.26 sixty-yard dash. From the outfield, threw 80 mph, arm action is clean and shorter on the backside, throws were downhill with carry. 

Tee Exit Velocity: 89 mph

Arm Velocity: 80 mph

Sixty-Yard: 7.26

5-foot-10, 175-pound, solid, athletic frame. A left-handed hitter, top tool is the ability to swing the bat. The hands are super loose, work freely and quick through the zone. The approach is middle to pull, has lift and loft, creating backspin and driving the baseball worth authority to pull gap. Look for him to hit at the college level. Defensively, the arm continues to improve, clocked at 84 mph. One of the better players in the region.

5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed hitting outfielder. The tools to play are present, very projectable athlete. Ran a 7.06 sixty at the event. The strides are long, more in the tank in the future. Threw 80 mph from the outfield, the arm works well and he was aggressive coming through the ball. Has the ability to play a corner outfield position at the next level. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 86 mph. The set up is wide in base, pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The bat path is uphill and there is movement in the hands throughout the process. Needs to calm it down and let the hands work, as they are good. Solid prospect.

Tee Exit Velocity -86 mph
OF Velocity- 80 mph

5-foot-10, 160-pound, long, lengthy, super athletic frame. The neck is long, shoulders are sloped, has plenty of room for future development. A left-handed hitter, barrel has serious life and whip to it. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 79 mph, with a ton more in there as he develops physically. The stance is simple, hands are loose with pre pitch movement to them, are held higher than shoulder height. The feet are inline, slightly wider than shoulder width. For timing, keeps the weight and hands back, uses a controlled high leg kick, gains minimal distance with stride foot. The swing is level to up, approach is more middle to pull, creates backspin to the baseball. In game performance was tremendous, collected three singles, clocked at 4.41 from home to first, ran the bases extremely well and aggressively. Defensively, showed quick feet in attacking the ball, moved to both sides, went and caught a ball in gap with ease. The arm works out of a high ¾ slot, clocked at 77 mph, arm action is longer on the back side. The stride foot, is short, gets on top and throws downhill, gave the fielders something to handle. A high end athlete, look for big things from this one.

Home-First: 4.41
Exit Velocity: 79 MPH
Arm Velocity:77 MPH

2018 FUTURE GAMES
5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed hitting outfielder. Good looking left-handed hitting outfielder, the frame is going to be physical down the road. Played solid throughout the weekend, was obvious he is very serious about his game as he took his prep work very seriously. Ran a 6.92 on the laser at the event. The glove and routes in the outfield are solid, more of a corner outfielder, dependent on level. Threw 82 from the outfield with accuracy. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 87 mph. The setup is wide in base, uses a knee to knee approach on the bottom half. The front foot was getting down heavy in the game, needs to stay in his legs. The path is slightly uphill, but the hands work very well. The path could be flattened to maximize his production. He is a good looking prospect for me, a great deal to like.
