Physical: 6-foot-4, 225 pounds; Long, broad shouldered build. Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 96 MPH via Trackman. Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep step while showing active feet. Hands are out in front while funneling to the hip before transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 82 MPH.
6/27/22
Physical: 6-foot-4, 225 pounds; Broad shouldered, full build. 7.68 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a flat swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 95 MPH via Trackman. Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; walks into ready position while showing active feet. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 81 MPH.
7/28/21
Physical: Large, projectable 6-foot-4, 225lb frame with advanced strength. 7.60 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Wider, open stance, as the knees faced narrowly inward coupled with a high-handed start at the shoulder. Utilized a simple up/down stride to initiate the bat head through a slightly uphill, extended path into the hitting zone. Really let the arms go to work at the front of the plate, and tried to gain leverage on all pitches. Stayed in the legs and sequenced properly with an early trigger in the load. Notched a T93 mph bat-exit velocity with a fly ball approach (55% FB rate via Trackman) able to accrue a near 340 foot batted ball distance at his peak for doubles power.
Defensively: The first baseman moved around with moderate posture, bending at the waist and chest over toes. Funneled cleanly with a soft glove hand leading the way, playing with give out in front. Repeated right-left, right-left footwork before releasing from a H ¾ slot (78 mph arm, shorter takeaway).
6/28/21
Physical: XL 6-foot-4, 225lb frame with strength carried throughout a thick, durable build. 7.58 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Wide, balanced stance as the hands operated high to start and the knees facing inward. Stayed down in the legs at a low posture, initiating the bat head through a whippy, slightly uphill path after getting into the ground using a calm lift and replace stride. Produced fluid weight shift that worked on-time through extension, showing home-run juice to the pull-side when getting leveraged at the front of the plate (75% fly ball rate, 67% hard hit rate via Trackman). Natural middle of the order approach and intangibles, adding a T96 mph bat-exit velocity and an impressive 367 foot max batted ball distance (303 foot average). Handled pitches in any quadrant, generating damage when thrown above the belt.
Defensively: The primary first baseman showcased a medium, high posture during defensive evals, presenting the glove hand early after using adequate footwork around the bag. Got the shoulders in-line and stayed high, releasing accurately from a H ¾ slot (low effort, 79 mph peak).
2/19/21
Physical: Physical 6-foot-4, 225 lb frame.
Offensively: Slightly open stance with feet wide and a bend in the knees while hands start up in frotn of the back shoulder; loads into back leg as hands push back creating some barrel tilt with a pick it up, put it down stride; strong effort from the lower half generating advanced bat speed through the zone with a slight uphill swing path yielding consistent hard line drive contact. 93 MPH peak exit velo.
Defensively: Active footwork around the bag; glove is soft fielding the ball in front with seamless transfers to a short arm action through a high 3/4 release. INF: 77 MPH.
