Physical: Lean, projectable 6-foot, 175lb frame. 7.07 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Crouched, athletic stance with high hands starting at the shoulder. Utilized a lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a fluid, flat path into the hitting zone. Found extension at the front of the plate with ability to work inside the ball to either gap. Delivered a T85 mph exit velocity and lived on the sweet spot with developing strength in the box. Chance to hit for some AVG down the road.

Defensively: The outfielder moved well in space with lower posture and a quick first-step. Settled down into a wider base while carrying momentum into the throw at 79 mph positionally (H ¾ slot). Will handle a corner spot.

Pitching: RHP. Starts off the left side; faster pace from a compact delivery, getting down the slope with intent and repeated extension. FB ranged 76-78 mph (2030) with some arm-side run, mixing a lateral 68-70 mph SL for strikes.

Physical: Strong, durable 6-foot, 175lb frame with a high-waisted build. 7.11 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Slightly open, crouched into the backside of the stance with his hands starting flat over the shoulder to start. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a direct path into the hitting zone. Really stayed through the upper half pitch at the letters, allowing for burst through the pull-side gap. Recorded an 87 mph bat-exit velocity with natural twitch in the movements. 

Defensively: The third baseman arrived on time with a narrow setup and stayed on the attack with a soft glove hand. Spun the double play well and notched a 76 mph arm strength across the diamond (H ¾ slot, accurate). 

Pitching: RHP - Slower pace in the delivery with some forward lean to get down the slope and on top of the pitch. H ¾ slot and reached into the mitt at 76-78 mph on the FB. Mixed a short, lateral 67-69 mph SL with below-average spin and countered using a fading low-to-mid 70’s CH.

Physical: Lean 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame with a high waist / length in the actions. 7.21 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Wide open, balanced stance with the hands showing next to the head with slight rhythm. Utilized a gather load with a shoulder turn inward coupled with a leg lift stride in order to deliver the bat head through a flat path into the hitting zone; recorded a 50% line drive rate according to Trackman Baseball during batting practice, peppering the middle-LCF gap with consistency. Hit into a stiff front side while notching an 84 mph bat-exit velocity. A 26.3 mph hand speed bodes well for future purposes, giving him the ability to handle top hand velocity with a quick time to contact. 

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured solid actions from the hot corner with a moderately low center of gravity, showing comfortability moving to his glove hand side with range. Nice feel for pace and a seamless transition into an accurate 77 mph arm strength from a ¾ slot. Handled the play on the run too.

Pitching: RHP - Set up in the middle of the mound with a pause at the side rocker, quick leg lift above belt level, stayed relatively high with the torso positioning after the land, quick arm through a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 75-78, T79 mph with low spin, appearing heavy at the bottom of the zone. Mixed a tight 65-67 mph SL getting up to 18 inches of horizontal movement across the plate. A 72 mph CH was thrown with good arm speed creating moderate deception out of the hand with some arm side fade.
