Physical: Compact, uber-athletic 5-foot-10, 164lb frame. The track star did not run on this date.

Offensively: RHH. Crouched, even stance, as the hands operated in rhythm above the shoulder. Utilized a toe tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat, whippy path towards a one-handed finish. The barrel lengthened at impact with good connection, driving the ball to all fields during an impressive BP round. Posted T98 mph bat-exit velocity at 376 feet, controlling the bat-head for a 60% sweet spot rate. One of the top uncommitted hitters available in the class.

Defensively: The outfielder showcased middle of the field traits with a quick first step and rounded footwork to his glove side. Chest stayed downward over the ball with the ability to get consistent, clean reads off the bat. Recorded a personal best, 85 mph arm-strength from his position.

Physical: Twitchy, uber-athletic 5-foot-10, 164lb frame. Multiple 6.30 runs in the 60-yard dash with plus footspeed.

Offensively: RHH - Upright stance with loose hands that started at the shoulder. Utilized a controlled leg-lift stride outside shoulder-width, initiating the swing through a flat path towards a high two-handed finish. Projects out as a top of the order, leadoff hitter type with smooth hands and the ability to adjust to different quadrants. Produced natural gap to gap pop in a lofty approach, recording a 78% fly ball rate and 56% sweet spot percentage during his round. Worked up to a 95 mph bat-exit velocity with distances to back it up. High ceiling prospect around the board. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop displayed advanced range in either direction, playing light over his front side and chopped at times on the approach. Got into an athletic base with good hip mobility and drove off the backside downhill towards the target. Notched an 81 mph arm and showcased sub-4.00 second feet across the middle.

Physical: Lean, twitchy 5-foot-10, 155lb frame with natural athleticism. 6.61 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Slightly bent, even stance with the upper half leaning over the plate. Utilized an up, down leg-lift stride to initiate the bat-head through a flat, quick path into the hitting zone. Stayed inside the baseball with short, simple actions in the box, able to match pitch-plane for a clean 70% line drive rate during his round (via Trackman). One of the top performances of the day, flashing quad greens on Blast Motion en route to 25+ G’s of rotational acceleration and an 80 mph peak bat-speed. Notched a T95 mph bat-exit velocity (355 foot batted ball distance) with a coveted top of the order power/speed profile. 

Defensively: The middle infielder flashed range in either direction with lower posture and a fast crossover step in either direction. Arrived on time and maintained pace through the ball towards the target, releasing on-time from a H ¾ slot (83 mph arm, 4.00 second feet). Spun the double play well too.
