11.04.18 Yadon has a high-waisted, athletic, quick-twitch frame at 5-foot-11, 180-pounds. Long stride runner with an easy gate, ran a 6.86 60-yard dash. Really like the right-handed hack, quick-strong hands with rhythm and lag in the barrel as he stays in his legs and delivers the barrel with gap power and a loose finish. Quick arm across the infield, moves easy laterally. The athleticism and the hit tool stand out and he is going to be a lot of fun to watch as he continues to fill out his frame.
06.05.18 Yadon has a high-waisted, lean-muscular, projectable frame at 5-foot-11, 140-pounds. All around athletic player, ran a 6.80 laser-timed 60-yard dash. The right-handed hitter starts from an open stance with relaxed rhythm and flex in his lower half. Simple load back using a reverse leg lift as he triggers his hands down and back before striding forward, landing balanced with good energy in his lower half. Aggressive hack with a short, compact path to contact and excellent lag in the barrel, creating an inside-out path as he whips the bat through the zone with a loose finish. Balls jumps off his bat with good carry in the middle of the field. Solid barrel awareness and wiry-strength, created a ton of line drives during BP. In the outfield, Yadon plays through the ball with natural actions, quick footwork and an aggressive mentality with a top velocity of 83 mph. On the infield, Yadon has quick footwork that allows him to get to full speed quickly when he ranges to either side. Soft hands, quick exchange, clean release, arm works well from different slots, but throws mostly from a natural ¾ slot that comes directly from the mid-line of his body. Showed good feel for starting the double play, and can play on the run. High end athlete with a ton of upside. Also plays the outfield, but has natural athleticism and actions that are likely to allow him to stay on the infield. A two-way player and right-handed pitcher, Yadon works from a ¾ slot with an up-tempo delivery and good energy down the mound. His fastball sat mostly 81-82 mph, flashing arm side run. Best off speed pitch was his curveball that he throws with good arm speed at 75 mph with 11/5 shape, short break and solid depth as he does a nice job of keeping his hand on top of the ball. His changeup has arm side fade at 76-78.
