Sullivan was an offensive force this past weekend going 7 for 12 with 2 doubles and 4 RBI's to help lead the Cougars to the 5A State Championship Game. Below is comments on Sullivan on last event. On the season Sullivan has been one of the top hitters in Colorado. He is currently hitting .539 with 31 RBI's, 12 doubles and 4 homeruns.

A 6-foot-6, 220-pound right hand hitting 1B/RHP who ran a 7.56 60.  Tall and athletic at the plate.  Hits from a balanced stance with a short stride and quick hand load.  Gets good extension through the zone and shows good pull power.  Lower half drives through the zone and he hits off a firm front side.  He showcased a 100 MPH exit velocity.  In the field he shows good range in the hole and a quick transfer when turning a double play.  He throws from a high ¾ arm slot and delivered a 77 MPH ball across the diamond.  Identified with the most raw power 2016 at this event.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound, first baseman had a good USG weekend.  At the plate he collected several extra base hits on balls into the right center gap.  He hits from a slightly open stance and a short stride.  Good lower leg movement and long arms produced an 88 MPH exit velocity off the pitch.  An upward swing path generates a ball with good carry.  In the field he moves well on his frame, he covers a lot of ground in the hole and showed above average feet coming off the bag.  His arm velocity was 74 MPH and he ran a 7.58 60.

2/15/20: After seeing part-time action last spring for the Bulldogs, Sullivan took opening weekend by storm going 5-for-12 at the plate with a double, triple and home run. During my one game look against Oregon State, he squared up base hits to left field in his first three plate appearances, finding the barrel for hard contact each time. Due to his size at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, his swing has some length, but he attacked the baseball, got the bat head out front and was long through the zone against mid-80s velocity. He also runs well for his size, above average underway. As a senior his performance will largely dictate where he is selected this June, but the body type, athleticism and tools are obvious. With a strong offensive season and a reduction in strikeouts (41 in 127 plate appearances last season), Sullivan could potentially slot into the top 10 rounds as a senior sign.
