6/21/22

Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-9, 175lb build. 7.57 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, bent stance that produces quiet rhythm in the hands to begin. Utilized a simple leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat path towards a two-handed finish. Clean rotational skill set generated multiple extra-base hits in game-action, as well as a loud BP round with a 322 foot distance and 88 mph exit velocity. Finds extension at the front of the plate and extends well to all fields.

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a soft glove hand with developing pocket awareness in the crouch. Pop times ranged between 2.24-2.30, turning the hips and replacing feet quickly for a 73 mph arm-strength (H ¾ slot).

Pitching: RHP. Starts from the left side of the mound; deep drop-step and balanced stack position, using a fast arm to close the gap. Held low 70’s mostly, T74 mph with occasional carry out of a lower release height. Drove a 60-62 mph CB to the bottom of the zone (two-plane).

3/12/22

Physical: Compact, strong 5-foot-9, 168lb frame. 7.58 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, shoulder-width stance, as the hands start upright before turning the barrel on the approach. Short lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Lots of flush contact for extra-bases, accurate round of batting practice. Early connection up to a T88 mph bat-exit velocity. 

Defensively: Begins pre-set from the crouch, reaching to the catch and squared the shoulders before getting rid from a H ¾ slot. Used the turf at times, 68 mph velocity, and showed developing blocking skills.
