PROGRESS Report

Last Look Notes: June 15, 2021, PA State Games, The tall and leveraged 6-foot-2, 165-pounder opened with a 6.75 60-yard dash and carried natural feel to multiple phases of the game. The right-handed hitter produced efficient results with developing bat-speed into the upper-60's. Line drive approach present and turned in a clean sheet during outfield defense with an 86 mph arm-strength from his position. The right-handed pitcher worked into the zone often at 79-81 mph and mixed a short, 11/5 breaking ball for strikes, too.

Recent Improvements: March 4, 2022, Baseball U PA Scout Day, The primary outfielder stood out with added physicality, now weighing in at 6-foot-2, 175lbs. Horvath showcased the same coveted athleticism by posting a 6.85 60-yard dash, second best at the event, and moved onto the mound for one of the better 'pens on the day. The long-limbed righty created good angle on the ball with the shoulders and pounded to the arm-side with an 86 mph average fastball - his heater at this time last year sat more around 79 mph. Newfound strength has pushed exits into the 92 mph range with above-average bat-to-ball skills available at the plate (83% sweet spot).
