Physical: Flexible, athletic 5-foot-11, 160lb build. 7.60 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Even, squatting stance, as the hands start higher to begin. Utilized a directional lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through an uphill path towards a sweeping finish. Created lots of leverage in the box for a T84 mph exit velocity and 50% line-drive rate. Mostly pull-side approach, which flashed in-game with multiple hard barrels that way. Turns it with authority and has started to cut down on swing/miss.

Defensively: The primary backstop featured some feel for three stances and received it in the pocket. Pop times ranged between 2.08-2.14, getting the rear foot in the ground with a fast trigger out of H ¾ slot (72 mph). Really drove the throw to the target. Showed ability to handle the OF with projectable movements and a live 82 mph arm.

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 160lb frame with longer arms. 7.55 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Shoulder-width stance, as the hands begin higher by the ear to start. Utilized a lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Lays back the upper-half for leverage at impact, allowing for hard contact to the LCF gap during BP. Posted a T90 mph exit velocity via Trackman with XBH intent while living on the barrel. 

Defensively: The primary backstop alternated stances between traditional and right-knee down. Natural hip mobility in the crouch with feel to receive and popped 2.16-2.23 with a fast arm up to 70 mph (H ¾ slot).

Physical: Advanced, athletic 5-foot-10, 160lb frame. 7.48 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, balanced stance, as the hands pre-set deep at the shoulder. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate an uphill path into the hitting zone with body tilt to get the arms through. Liked to extend on the ball for pull-side distance up to a T91 mph bat-exit velocity, 316 foot batted ball distance pairing. Didn’t get cheated during his round, made some intriguing gains over the past year in terms of bat-speed. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a soft glove hand from multiple setups that found the pocket. Pop times went down as low as 2.04 on the bag out of a quick H ¾ release and 72 mph arm-strength. A player on both sides of the ball to know in the class. Moved to the outfield with similar success, adding accurate 74 mph throws to the plate.

Physical: Lengthy, athletic 5-foot-9, 145lb frame. 7.79 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Higher postured, upright stance from an open start as the hands operated flat by the head. Utilized a short lift and replace stride with good stretch at footstrike, unleashing the barrel through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone. Natural bat to ball skills while hitting behind the pitch with consistency, working into a tall/stiff front-side at impact. Recorded a T90 mph bat-exit velocity with mature actions during BP, posting a near 40% line drive rate (via Trackman). Found doubles power to the pull-side with distances approaching 320 feet and profiles as a hitter with good rotational scores. 

Defensively: The primary backstop demonstrated above-average feel in the crouch (flexible, left knee down receive). Showed off a calm glove hand that drug the pitch from down to up through the zone. Pop times ranged from 2.25-2.34 with quick, directional feet working at a low posture. Clean transfer to the throwing ear (V-slot, 69 mph arm, accurate). Slid over to the outfield with easy ability to stick at any two of three positions; read the ball off the bat and made early decisions, fielding with attacking, choppy feet off his left side. Released with intent from a longer, H ¾ slot (75 mph arm).

Physical: 5-foot-9, 145 pounds; Lean, long build. 7.76 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet shoulder width apart; flat bat to start. Short take back with the hands with a moderate leg kick for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 83 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup;  while plays low to the ground. Hands are soft with a seamless transfer. Short take back  from a high/over the top arm slot. 2.37-2.45 pop times. C - 63 MPH.
