Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds. Well-proportioned frame with strength.
Hit: LHH. Tall setup, minimal leg lift and stride, controlled. Looks to go the other way with it, keeps the ball on a line. 61.9 mph bat speed with 6 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 80 max exit velocity, averaged 70.7 mph. 239’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 79 mph. Short, compact arm path, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Attacks the ball, works in-line, moves well laterally.

A trio of Morton HS 2026 graduates; INF Camden Taylor, RHP/INF Cameron Crawford and OF Andy Ballard showed well at the Peoria event. Taylor has a fluid, projectable left-handed swing that stays on-plane while using the whole field. Crawford has a strong durable frame with above-average bat strength for his age (T89.9 mph with a max distance of 315). He also sat 77-78 mph on the mound. Ballard has a 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame, ran a 7.16, was 80 mph from the outfield and showed off a simple repeatable left-handed swing that was on the barrel up the middle of the field with easy effort throughout.
