Ballance

3.30.17: Strong, athletic and projectable 6-foot-1 frame. Hits from a taller square set up. Short swing path with bat speed and shows extension through contact. Power potential. Quick out of the box, 4.36 home to first on right side ground ball. Versatile defender. Played outfield, short, and second in the game. Confident first step in the outfield, good reads. Moves well with athleticism. Clean actions in the infield, sound exchange. Shorter arm action with some carry on throws across diamond. Bright future.

Ballance hits from a taller athletic set up. Has a quick load to hitting position with a short swing path. He creates quick bat speed and displays balance throughout the swing. Could get better rhythm to create better power potential. In the field, Ballance shows active feet and athletic actions. His hands are soft and work quickly to throwing position with a short arm action. Projectable frame that should continue to get stronger and fill out more.
