Lewis & Clark CC commit. Currently ranked No. 288 in the state. Twitchy 5-foot-6, 147-pound frame. Batted second and played centerfield. The right-handed hitter was on the barrel for a pull-side double in his second at-bat. He works from a wider base with some pre-pitch rhythm in his hands, and his swing has length through the zone paired with quick hands. Defensively, his arm showed above-average strength during pregame and it translated in-game, while also showing the ability to cover ground in center.
INF/OF Braxton Yates (Triad, 2026) had a strong showing at the plate throughout gameplay. A scrappy right-handed hitter, he showed to be a tough out with each at-bat. He fouls pitches off and doesn’t chase much out of the zone, while using a whole-fields approach, unafraid to take what the opposing pitcher gives him to hit. He tallied three hits, two walks, and three stolen bases throughout the event. Yates also had a quality showing during the workout, running a 6.91 60 and posting an average EV of 87.5 mph during batting practice.
Positional Profile: 2B/OF
Body: 5-6.2, 147.7-pounds. Compact, athletic frame.
Hit: RHH. Narrow base, slightly open setup, higher leg kick stride, works back to even, utilizes lower half. Hands work on top of the ball, longer path, line drive oriented, utilizes the whole field. 64 mph bat speed with 13g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 mph max exit velocity (87.5 avg.); 295-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 82 mph. 3/4 slot, short.
Defense: Works around the ball, two hand gather out front, smooth and natural actions.
Athletic Testing: 6.91 runner in the 60-yard dash; 25.60-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 70.88 Edge Score.
Positional Profile: 2B/SS
Body: 5-4, 132-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Narrow start, minimal hand load, lead leg lift. Some hand speed, uphill to contact. 66 mph bat speed with 10 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 82 max exit velocity, averaged 72.9 mph. 260’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 73 mph. Short tight arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Patient to the baseball. Athletic on the move, gets around the baseball. Steady hands that play out front, secure two-hand gather.
Run: 7.69 runner in the 60.
