Sullivan

Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot-1, 180lb frame with tangible strength that carries in the actions; 6.88 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH - Narrow, crouched stance with the knees facing inward and hands starting bowed at the head with slight rhythm; utilized a short lift and replace stride creating stretch with hip coil over the backside, unleashed through an accurate/flat path into the hitting zone yielding a mostly line drive approach over the middle of the field. Kept the ball off the ground completely with a 33% line drive rate / 67% fly ball rate split giving way to big-time power to the RF side (350 foot batted ball distance via Trackman). Worked up to a T93 mph bat-exit velocity and posted solid rotational scores pointing towards consistent extra-base hit abilities in the middle of a lineup somewhere. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured multiple setups in the crouch; worked RKD/flexible/wide and traditional with the backside altering heights. Above-average receiver and quick, in line footwork towards the target with smooth transfers releasing from a fluid ¾ slot. Accurate 79 mph arm with some carry and found success on the bag, moved well laterally during blocks and read down angles with recovery skills.

Physical: 6-foot-1, 180LBS. Lean, athletic frame. 7.24SEC 60-Yard Dash. 

Offensively: LHH. Sets up tall and feet shoulder width apart. Hands are somewhat preset in an early connection position and promote a strong load. The rear leg is engaged early and weight is transferred to the backside during the load. Uses a leg hang for timing. Looks to meet the baseball out front. Quality bat speed. High, two handed finish. 

Defensively: Primary catcher. Utilizes a left knee down and two knee up set up. Hands are soft on receive. Stays in the lower half while keeping a tall upper half. Transfer at chest height. Arm action is abbreviated and ball gets on its way quickly. Shows strong secondary stance on block. Works to "catch" baseball in the lower 3/4 of chest protector. 

Physical: Lean and athletic 6-foot-1, 165-pound frame with feel for his body in all phases. 7.19 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH. Balanced, even setup with a slight bend in the knees. Utilized a controlled lift-and-replace stride with small movement back in the hands during load. Showcased high level feel for a slightly uphill barrel path through contact point that led to a quality round of batting practice overall. Found hard barrels to all fields with a short time to contact with plenty of fluidity towards extension. Lived in the RCF gap which should help project extra base hit ability. Registered an 89 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball while hitting into a stiff front side. 

Defensively: The first baseman demonstrated a low center of gravity as well as a quick first step allowing for soft hands to play easily out in front of the body. Was able to turn inside on double play feeds and get back to the bag if need be showcasing some of the quickness he possesses. Arm action worked through a high ¾ slot with a moderate takeaway. 1B- 80 mph

Featured a long and lean 6-foot, 160-pound frame with present strength in his actions and room to add strength as he matures.
