Canada is a bat I am super bulish on coming out of this event. He is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with projection still left in the frame and a loose, whippy, left-handed stroke. There is some barrel feel with some bat speed & has a chance to grow into at least average to better power with present exits reaching 94-plus. He is sure-handed on the dirt with solid actions in total and I really like how the arm works across, up to 87 mph. He is a below-average runner for now, though the feet play quicker on the dirt, and likely gets faster with added strength/maturity. Huston Dunn offered several similiar traits at the age & is the current comp on Canada.

Ben Canada, ST THEODORE GUERIN HIGH SCHOOL (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/2B
Body: 5-11, 155-pounds. Lean build on a projectable frame.
Hit: LHH. Slightly wide lower half with hands starting way back in stance prematurely achieving shoulder separation. Minimal load into drive leg with a small stride following a toe-tap timing mechanism. Hands stay back throughout load and stride mechanics ready to strike. Lota of torque in the upper body. Rotational athleticism leads to easy bat speed on an uphill plane.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 81.0 mph. 305' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. Long, loose arm action from an over the top slot. Shows ability to drop the slot when necessary.
Defense: Feet move with direction, obvious confidence with the glove and devloped ball to hand skills.
ATH: 7.87 runner in the 60.
