Brayden Flores (Chandler, 2024)
Compact build, has recently put on more size and strength. Smooth actions. 7.81 runner in the 60. Has some quick twitch and instincts, speed plays better than 7.81. (IF) 76 mph IF velo. Understands infield play. Quiet actions with direct routes and active feet. Feet stay in motion and timing while fielding is rhythmic. Glove work is direct to the baseball with no added/wasted movement. Has the ability to play all 3 infield spots, best projection is at 2B for now. (Hitting) SH. Max EV 84.3 mph. Max Dist. 295 feet. Very impressive/mature approach. Quiet actions in the box. Base is just outside of shoulder width square to the pitcher, with hands at shoulder height and a loose grip and levers. Stride is direct and up and down. Contact hitter with great plate discipline. Hits the ball where it's pitched and doesn’t over swing. Best success is to the top half for now until strength comes. GB/LD type hitter with a pesky approach. Clear 2K approach.
Game Results: 0-1 4 BB. Very quality at bats. Worked the count. Fought off pitches. Showed 2K approach and plate discipline.
