Notes

Comments

7/26/23

Physical: Big strength in a wide 6-foot-1, 228-pound frame. 7.26 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Taller, balanced stance with some pre-pitch hand rhythm. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a fluid, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Accelerated well towards a violent finish, allowing for early separation and bat-speed to close the gap. Led #TeamPA in EV at T99MPH and worked up to a 385FT max distance to LCF.

Defensively: The first baseman showed off adequate feel around the bag with a soft funnel. Quality hips for size and got rid from a shorter ¾ slot when needed at 84MPH. Added an inside move on the double-play rep with a recovery back in time.

Pitching: RHP. Smail closed out Game 1 and touched 87MPH from a quicker tempo. Really maintained the hinge when driving down the mound and created life out of the sleeve (21 inch IVB). Wrinkled in a hard, lateral SL with 19 inch of HM to glove-side, spinning at 2202 rpms.

10/01/22

Physical: Some of the top raw power in the class at 6-foot-1, 228lbs. 7.53 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Slightly open, crouched stance, as the hands start from a strong position. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through an uphill path into the hitting zone with swivel over the rear hip. Did plenty of damage on the middle/in pitch, explosive at the contact window for a T99 mph exit velocity via Trackman. Worked up to a 337 foot distance and added a 43% barrel rate.

Defensively: The first baseman featured choppy actions around the bag and funneled softly off of the middle of his body. Wider base, which allowed for some balance, reaching back for a 79 mph infield arm (H ¾). Used a drop-step technique on double plays.

Pitching: RHP. Begins off the left corner of the rubber; repeatable delivery with lower-half drive down the mound. Still getting back to 100%, held 76-79, T80 mph on a heavy FB, mixing a sweeping 68-70 mph SL across the plate. Quality feel for a CH into the low-70’s for strikes.

6/14/22
