Jace Larman, Choctaw (OK), 2029 Positional Profile: C/3B LHH/C/INF..will added strength in good strength in future. Athleticism developing. Solid defensive player in future, like him behind the plate as he continues to develop. Solid bat/power combo coming as he adds strength and takes advantage of development opportunities with hit approach. Good player in future. Body: 5-8, 144-pounds. Will add strength. Good build, width to back, sloping shoulders. Will have good strength/build in future. Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, does a solid job of using lower 1/2 in swing. Would like to see him with little more drive in front side getting slightly more upright if comfortable with move. Shoulder tilt present, creates uphill path, comes over the top of pitches on inner 1/2. Getting shoulder level will get barrel on plane allowing for consistent ability square baseball for line drive contact or elevate to pull side. Barrel/hands in good position to launch. Solid swing into zone, uphill path with left shoulder tilt limits present consistency to impact baseball. Finds barrel now, will be really good when consistently creates line drive contact. Power: 85 max exit velocity, averaged 81.6 mph. 304' max distance. Upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Finds barrel now, hard contact limited with current approach. Will take jump in future. Arm: RH. C-70 mph. INF-70 mph. INF…Arm works well with ability to throw from all angles, raw arm strength will improve. Catcher…Arm works, front shoulder opens early at times causing arm to drag and throws to work 1st base side. Will develop. Defense: 2.18-2.36 pop times. INF…Moves fine to baseball, slightly mechanical in movements, would like to see him use athleticism more when moving to baseball. Minor glove flipper when fielding, keep glove hand thumb up when working to fielding baseball. Hands work in actual fielding process. Catcher…glove works fine, does a good job of setting feet throw. Solid receiving bullpen. ATH: 7.19 runner in the 60. 1.67 and 3.97 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Moves well, good start, solid form running. With added strength and maturity, good chance he develops into plus runner.
