Physical: 5-9, 150 pounds; Average, lean build. 7.23 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with a a finish around the back. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 78 MPH via Trackman. Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; uses prep hop while playing low to the ground. Hands are underneath the body with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 73 MPH. Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using an angled drop step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while wrist hooks behind back; high 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 77 MPH, while sitting 74-77 MPH; commands both sides. CB: 70-72 MPH; spots and expands.
7/11/23
Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 150-pounds with RTF. 7.23 runner in the 60YD.
Offensively: RHH. Slightly bent, even stance, as the hands begin high. Utilized a quick toe-tap stride to initiate his swing through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone. Natural feel for the barrel (90% sweet spot) over the middle of the field during a gap-to-gap approach. Recorded a T82MPH EV and worked up to a 238FT distance via Trackman.
Defensively: The primary SS showed off chopped footwork and a simple glove presentation out front. Gained momentum with a hop in the prep-step and played downhill towards the target for a 70MPH arm-strength (short H ¾).
