Ayden Francisco, Frontier High (CA), 2028
Positional Profile: 1B/LHP Left-handed power bat with a physical corner profile and developing upside on the mound.
Body: 6-1, 224-pounds. Larger, physical build with strength already present, particularly through the lower half. Frame is still coming together and could continue to firm up as he matures.
Delivery: Operates with a composed, repeatable motion. Utilizes a medium knee lift while keeping the hands in sync, staying centered over the back leg at balance. Moves down the mound upright and under control, finishing with a strong front-leg brace that allows the hips to rotate cleanly through release.
Arm Action: LH. Arm works with moderate length, staying connected behind the body. Loose and free through the stroke with some quickness. Releases from a three-quarter slot with little recoil, allowing for repeatability.
FB: T85, 83-85 mph. Riding life through the zone. Spin traits flash as a positive, and present velocity gives it a chance to play at the top of the zone. T2237, 2166 average rpm.
CB: 74-78 mph. Flashes subtle horizontal action with strong spin characteristics. Shows lateral action and upside as a true secondary T2697, 2670 average rpm.
CH: 77-77 mph. Firmer offering that will benefit from additional spin reduction. Flashes separation but still developing feel to fully differentiate from the fastball. T2005, 2005 average rpm.
ATH: 8.18 runner in the 60. 1.92 and 4.50 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 19.20 max vertical.

While several 2028's had impressive days at the event Francisco was able to separate slightly from the group with his strong two-way performance. A bigger build at 6'2 233.6 lbs. Francisco has solid present strength, but can polish himself going forward to become an imposing force as he goes through high school. Showing sound hands and footwork at 1B Francisco looks to be a solid defender at the spot where his athleticism fits best, but it's his LH bat which earns him this spot. During the two rounds of batting practice Francisco swung with aggressiveness in his hands and bat speed (21.6 MPH hand speed & 73.9 MPH bat speed) while showing impressive feel for his barrel to deliver hard contact consistently. Francisco produced an event best 90% hard hit rate with a peak of 98.3 MPH on his exit velocity, but even more impressive his average exit velocity was 94.6 MPH with a 70% fly ball/line drive rate and a 359' max distance on a pull side HR. It's a strong hit tool with power in the profile foundation that can continue to trend up as he matures to be an impact offensive profile in the future. Francisco showed nearly just as well on the mound where his easy delivery with loose arm stroke that repeated well produced a FB in the 79-82 MPH range that peaked at 83 MPH on his final FB of the 20 pitch bullpen that showed 2200+ average spin rates while pounding the strike zone with the offering. Francisco dropped in an impressive SLD which lived in the strike zone at 68-69 MPH with 2500+ RPMs of spin and a sweeping shape to it 15" of horizontal break with a two plane shape at present which can tighten up with added velocity. The southpaw mixed in a solid 73-75 MPH CHG with firmer spin on the offering but arm side run on the offering averaging -7.6" on the pitch. The profile for Francisco is strong with some present rawness that can be polished up as he matures that makes him a strong name to keep eyes on in the Bakersfield area for the 2028 class.
