Uncommitted, 6-foot-1, 200-lb proportional frame w/ present strength. Mostly works from the stretch w/ slightly open setup w/ hands set at chest. Mixes looks to the plate w/ leg lift or quick slide step. Drop n drive lower w/ slightly closed foot landing. Loose, quick arm action, coming from low 3/4 slot. FB just continued to improve over the year, as it was 82-87 this Spring before peaking at 85-89 T90 this summer at Lakepoint. Low spin w/ heavy arm side run and some sink. Mixing CB at 67-71 w/ good shape and bite, landing for strikes or bury for chase. Positionally, tools to stick at 3B w/ solid hands and good arm strength (86 INF Velo). Wide balanced stance w/ laid back bat and simple stride. Generates good bat & hand speed while consistently barreling up the ball (T 93.6; Avg: 86.3) w/ heavy dose of line drives and gap pop. Whalen emerged this Spring as a steady no. 2 arm and bat, earning all-district honors. He’s continued to build a great resume w/ two way upside and higher ceiling on the mound.
