Bay Area Open - INF: Youngest player at the event and showed projectable skills and frame. Medium frame, squared shoulders showing length through lower half; frame has the space to keep growing, maturing and strengthening. Tall and narrow with slightly opened stance and high hands, high back elbow; can keep working on staying connected to the ground as he controls his forward movement. Longer barrel turn with slightly upward path through the zone before long one-handed finish; found consistent timing and worked behind baseball flashing a swing that should have extra base power as he continues to mature (80 EV). Worked the pullside with lift into the gap. Plays with high hips bending and fielding balls deep; footwork can keep making strides as he plays more. Arm is long and loose having quickness through mid-slot; arm is very projectable for position and on the mound (75 MPH).
PBR Bay Area Open - Pitching: Youngest performer at the showcase and acquitted himself well. Thick proportions on a 5-foot-7, 155-pound body. Good delivery tempo and lower body worked quite well given his age. Aggressive stride and stayed on line fairly well. Can develop a bit better foot strike stability but he's still very young and is starting in a good place. Shallow backside arm action like that of a C/3B (he's also a 3B) and good timing of hands and feet. Did have some rotational spin as he worked toward release and that limited the release point and full potential life of his pitches. Fastball (71-73 mph) good for a rising 8th grader and mechanical improvements as he develops will bring more velocity. Worked with easy tempo and does not force the ball out. Best secondary pitch was the curveball (58-59 mph) which he repeatedly threw with feel and big shape, with some depth. Time will tell regarding how his body evolves but presently, simply as a rising 8th grader, he showed well.
