New York Games (July 7-9, 2015)

Athletically built with a 5-foot-11, 175-pounds frame. Has a clean, loose arm action with great arm strength across the diamond, has potential for rangy ability. Fields ball deep but arm strength and quick release makes him a solid fielder. At the plate setup is balanced and relaxed, path to the ball is compact and strong with a smooth load and short stride to the pitch. Has high finish and keeps the bat level through the hitting zone. Shows great projection as a hitter with more hard work.

Simmons played a great SS game one making routine plays and a few coin flips as well. Going to his glove side he played a ball out in front of his left leg, used a quick glove-to-hand/clean transfer and fired a dart from his back leg falling to the third-base side. Arm is well above average, footwork is the question mark on whether he stays at SS moves to second-base. The bat is short and compact, quick hands, contact with opposite field consistency.

His glove is soft, hands are quick, release could be faster. He shows an above average arm at 87 mph across the diamond, excited to see him progress this year on the defending AA State Champs squad. He also swings a high-end contact style, hands inside the ball type hitter, some extension out in front, needs to continue working on getting stronger. 84 mph exit velocity off a tee.

On the pitch he shifts his weight back, knee lift for timing, lands slightly open with his toe. Short path to the ball, sightly inclined barrel through the zone, great extension out in front, high balanced finish. 83 mph exit velocity off a tee (wood bat). 7.1 60 time showing athleticism.
