There’s no doubt Pace was the biggest standout among the Canadian players with his actions and reliability at short, alongside his left-handed bat and speed. He was the spark plug and brought the energy offensively, picking up an opposite field single in the first inning before stealing second and third. Made all the plays up the middle with clean and smooth actions. No doubt Pace set himself apart on Day One.
Pace stood out on the Canada Selects in every portion of the showcase. He started by running a 7.28 60-yard dash and followed it up with a clean round at SS. He had good footwork and actions, along with carry on his accurate throws. At the dish, the left-handed hitter worked middle to pull side with consistent, hard line-drive contact. With all the scouts in attendance, Pace definitely caught some attention early on at the NY State Games.
Pace, a 6’0 172lbs MIF opened a lot of eyes with his play on both sides of the field. In the infield the hands work smooth and quick with an arm that has carry behind it. During his round of BP the swing is geared towards a gap-to-gap approach. The swing is balanced and twitchy, stays flat and through the zone with good extension on his hits. During the intersquad Pace racked up a multi-hit day living up the middle on his hits. Pace also showed well in the infield, making all the plays at SS. A reclass 2023 with a solid overall game that keeps improving will be one to watch for schools looking for an infielder.
