Physical: Strong, standout frame with an imposing presence (6-2, 210lbs) while flashing freakish athleticism in the frame; 7.02 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Started from an upright, narrow stance with high hands above the shoulder. Utilized a leg hang with gradual drop/drive in the legs throughout the forward move. Landed at a wide attack, launching with stretch through an explosive slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Generated lots of extension and power through the middle of the field, using controlled weight shift at impact to punish baseballs over the plate. Strong wrists and easy bat speed (77.3 mph max) while popping a 99 mph top bat exit-velocity via Trackman Baseball. Can slot in right now as a middle of the order bat and played pepper with the LCF wall during batting practice.
Defensively: Solid posture and bounce around the bag at first, stayed low at the fielding window with a soft glove hand working out in front. Simple approach and kept the feet moving towards the target, adequate feel on the move to either side. Accurate, high ¾ slot on throws across the diamond (79 mph, low intent).
Pitching: RHP - The righty began off the left side of the rubber with a starting pitcher’s feel on the bump. Good pace into a side rocker with pause before a high leg lift at a balanced, coiled position at the top of the stack. Lengthy fluid arm swing and no restrictions; got over the front side well at release. Showed obvious two way abilities holding 82-84, T85 mph with increased carry to the top of the zone. Countered with a tight 72-74 mph SL with feel for late bite across the plate for K’s.
6-foot, 215-pound primary pitcher sat 79-80 from a over-the-top arm slot. Curveball at 66-68 showed tends to spin with little depth at this point in development. Changeup was thrown at near-fastball arm speed sitting 72-73. The right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and uses a knee-to-knee stride to begin. Stays behind the baseball well and showed some rhythm. Registered a bat exit velocity of 88 mph and ran a 7.83 60-yard dash. Showcased capable actions around the bag at first base with accurate 74 mph arm strength across the diamond.
5-foot-10, 195-pound right-handed hitter starts from a crouched, slightly-open stance and utilizes a toe-tap stride to initiate his swing. Showcased feel for the back-side during batting practice while barreling 80 mph bat-exit-velocities. Demonstrated solid footwork and smooth hands around the bag, helping his accurate 73 mph arm-strength carry across the infield. Ran an 8.32 60-yard dash. Right-handed pitcher displayed 72-74 mph fastballs with small arm-side-run from a high 3/4 arm-slot during bullpens. Castellano's 59-62 mph curveballs rolled off his fingers showing 11/5 rotation. Used similar arm-speed to the fastball on his 64-67 mph changeup.
