2/18/23

Physical: 5-foot-9, 150 pounds; Average, slender build. 7.65 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Drops hands on the way back with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a two handed finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of  MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a compact setup; utilizing a traditional primary position while staying low during receiving. Hands are soft while standing up during transfer. Short take back from a high 3/4 arm slot. 2.45-2.58 pop times. C - 65 MPH.  

6/21/22

Physical: Strong, durable 5-foot-9, 150lb frame. 7.67 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance, as the hands operated upright at the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone towards a high two-handed finish. Worked to get leveraged on pitches out over the plate, producing a T84 mph exit velocity during BP; 77% sweet spot rate with consistency to the pull-side.

Defensively: The backstop featured a developing skill set out of a traditional stance in the crouch. Pop times ranged from 2.55-2.85 with directional footwork and 59 mph arm-strength (H ¾ slot).
