Lobdell stands in at 5-foot-10, 150-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 4.47 home to first. Offensively- Lefty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet just outside his shoulders. Stands with a vertical body frame holding his hands above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a knee raise into the body to stride forward while his hands move back into his hitting position. Utilizes good lower body rotation clearing the hips and getting his whole-body frame involved in the swing. Shows quick hands into the hitting zone with an upward lift barrel action throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated good plate coverage and the ability to drive the ball up the middle and to the pull side. Has a smooth swing that will continue to get better with more development and added strength. Recorded an exit velocity of 78 MPH, a 7 MPH improvement from his previous recorded mark in March 2016. Defensively- Good approach and footwork to the baseball. Good fielding mechanics funneling the ball into the chest with a quick transition to the throwing position. Has aggressive footwork towards the intended throwing target. Moves well left/right and in on the run. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 76 MPH.

 Dillon is a slightly built 5-foot-7 125 pound shortstop who ran a 8.37 60 and an improved 4.47 home-to-1B from the left side. Offensively- Dillon sets up in an even stance with his weight pre-loaded to the back lef. Uses a controlled load with a stride that gains ground to the mound. Explosive with his lower half. Repeatable swing path as he stays short into the zone with a two handed finish up and out in front of the body. Peak exit velocity of 71 MPH, up 3 MPH from December. Consistent line drive results from the middle of the field through his pull side. Defensively- Dillon starts in a spread and low position. Creates proper angles when fielding the ball out in front. Clean transition with an efficient shuffle step. As a middle infielder, a taller starting position will eliminate any delay when moving laterally. Arm strength across the diamond peaked at 72 MPH.
