Left-handed hitting athletes are at a premium and Ash fits that mold. He is a 5-foot-10, 170 pounder that ran a 6.70 60-yard dash to begin the day. He hits from the left-side with a short, handsy, on-top swing that produced line drive ball flights at 95+ mph on the top-end. The swing and feet fit a table-setters' mold, while his 89 mph outfield arm is another tool that he provides.

Arm: LH. OF-88 mph. Quick, compact arm that works from over the top - arm is best tool

ATH: 6.95 runner in the 60.
Ash was a standout performer on the mound in his outing Saturday night. The lefty changed speeds well throughout the outing and induced swings and misses, as well as weak contact all night. The fastball sat 80-83 mph that had life and arm-side run. The curveball worked from 73-75 mph with 11/5 shape and had out-pitch potential. Ash struck out eight over six innings of work.
Ash found the barrel regularly on Friday from the left side, launching a long ball down the right field line before connecting for a two-bagger in his final at-bat. Finished 2-for-2 with a walk. Athletic build with a balanced load and smooth swing.
