Scouting Report

5/19/24

Charlie Donaldson, Sam Houston High School (LA), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Athletic with a ton of room to add strength.
Hit: LHH. Upright and narrow set-up, glides out with front foot during a controlled load and stride. Hands start high, but he gets his barrel on-plane early as he loads and stays on-plane to contact and through extension, gap-to-gap type hitter with more power to come as he gets stronger.
Arm: LH. OF-82 mph. Compact arm swing, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Good reads, attacks ball aggressively but under control, quickly gathers feet behind it, fields off right side of body with one hand into a crow hop.
