Scouting Report

6/15/21

 

Physical: Strong, projectable 6-foot-3, 170lb frame with durability and room to add still. 7.51 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Started from a bent, even stance wider than shoulder-width, coupled with a low hand beginning. Used a slight move backwards on time with a lift and replace stride outwards towards the pitcher; smooth barrel actions and found some success connecting early through a flat path into the hitting zone. Very adjustable approach with loud pull-side contact/ability to show loft during his batting practice round (67% fly ball rate via Trackman Baseball). Notched a T90 mph bat-exit velocity with a 260 foot AVG batted ball distance pointing towards extra-base hit qualities down the road.

Defensively: The primary first baseman featured adequate movements with some feel around the bag flashing semi soft glove hand actions low to the ground and a clean exchange releasing from a lengthy high ¾ slot (75 mph, accurate). Able to cover some ground with comfortable lateral movements in either direction.

Pitching: RHP - Average pace to the delivery starting off the middle of the rubber getting to a medium leg-lift with slight hip-coil at the top of the stack; got down the mound with separation at footstrike, rotating on time over the front side releasing from H ¾ (FB ranged 79-81 mph, 61% zone rate, slight fall/sink). Mixed a hard-thrown 72-74 mph CH appearing mostly straight, killing spin at 1671rpms AVG.
