2024 Toronto Fall ID
Bader put together one of the stronger days we saw this week. Has physically matured since our last look growing into his 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame and flashing newfound physicality at the dish. His peak exit velocity of 90.5mph was tops among 2027’s in attendance, and good for second among all players. Peak distance of 313ft was also second on the day. James has progressed well and there’s still more to project on in the offensive profile with future adjustments and sustained growth. Toed the rubber for us as well, working in the mid 70s while spinning the curve at up to 2512rpm and flashing some of the more interesting underlying pitch metrics among attendees.
