Milleville

Physical: 5-foot-11, 175LBS. Lean, athletic build. Fairleigh Dickinson Commit. 

Pitching: Uptempo delivery. Begins on the 1B side of the rubber. Rocker step works into a leg lift to chest. Hands work down and up in correlation in the leg lift. Drop and drive move towards the plate. Arm swing is quick and works without restrictions. Releases from a high 3/4 slot and produces some ASR. FB ran up to 89MPH. Also showcases CH and SL. Arm slows down slightly on the CH but keeps the same release point. Could develop into a quality pitch with proper arm speed. 

Physical: Athletic and physical blend in a 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame with plenty of feel for his body. 7.00 runner in the 60-yard dash.  

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, crouched stance with the hands showing slight rhythm at the ear in the setup. Utilized a lift and replace stride to initiate a loose and whippy, slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Showcased tons of twitch in the swing with light tower power when catching the ball out in front of the plate. Sinks into the lower half upon launch creating advanced hip shoulder separation and loud pull-side pop to the LCF gap.

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured a low center of gravity with rangy actions to the glove side and demonstrated a feel for pace from the left side of the infield. Stayed low through the fielding window with a soft glove hand that played aggressively out in front; attacked the ball with confidence and showcased the ability to make the play on the run from multiple arm angles. SS - 85 mph

Pitching: Up tempo delivery with solid connection to the backside during the straight-line leg drive towards the plate. Arm plays out of a power high ¾ slot with tons of life into the zone on an 82-85 mph FB with a top of 2158 spin per Trackman Baseball. Mixed in a sharp, swing and miss 70-71 mph CB with 11/5 shape and late depth flashing 1955 spin. Countered with a differently shaped 68-70 mph SL with short horizontal bite across the zone used primarily to RHH.
