Physical: XL, football player’s frame with strength and durability at 6-foot-3, 230lbs. 7.60 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance with a slight bend in the knees operating from a powerful position to start. Utilized a short, directional lift and replace stride out towards the pitcher, initiating the bat head through a lifted, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed in rhythm throughout his batting practice round, able to create good bat-speed on a mostly pull-side approach. Recorded a T97 mph bat-exit velocity (per Trackman) en route to a 42% line drive rate and 335 foot batted ball distance (consistent barrels, doubles power). Will continue being a considerable middle of the order force with simple, repeatable actions and raw strength that translates to in-game results.
Defensively: The primary third baseman featured average footwork at a wider position, beating the ball to the spot and presenting the glove out in front. Softly funneled and shuffled towards the target in-line, creating momentum. Released accurately out of a H ¾ slot with some whip (75 mph arm, slight arm-side run). Offers a chance to slide over to first base down the road with some positional flexibility.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 220-pounds. Big, physical frame. 7.68 runner in the 60; 4.62 home-to-1B.
Offensively: RHH. Relaxed, athletic, slightly open stance with an even base, hands start back behind ears and work down on load along with a medium stride for timing Generates loft with an uphill swing plane, good use of his lower half, finishes high with two hands. Hard contact to pull side. 90 MPH raw exit velocity.
Defensively: INF: Starts low and shows his glove early, fields the ball in the middle of his body, soft hands OF: Consistent footwork, smooth mechanics, plays ball in front when fielding. INF: Medium arm swing with a 3/4 arm slot OF: Long over the top throw. INF - 74 MPH. OF - 76 MPH.
Pitching: Works up tempo with a leg lift above the waist at a tall balance point before getting into back side as strides out in line to a repeatable release and balanced follow through. Long arm action dropping down out of the glove with slight hitch before getting up to a high 3/4 release. FB: T78, 76-78 MPH. Commands in the zone with downhill plane. CB: 62-65 MPH. 11-5 shape staying arm side. CH: 64-65 MPH. Maintains hand speed with some fade.
