Physical: Strong, athletic 6-foot-1, 165lb frame. 7.25 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Crouched, even stance, as the hands show lower at the chest. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone towards a balanced finish. Recorded a T87 mph exit velocity during BP with a consistent 42% barrel rate, finding leverage out in space. Delivered a pull-side approach, up to a 287 foot distance.
Defensively: The primary outfielder featured aggressive tempo over the front side with an accurate glove-hand. Fielded off the left leg and set the body in-line to the target for an 81 mph arm-strength. Full range-of-motion that got rid of the ball quickly.
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the middle-left part of the rubber; quickened pace in the delivery and hides the letters at the stack. Heavy FB to all zones from 79-82 mph (1960), mixing a commanded low-70’s SL for strikes and fading 71-73 mph CH. Around the plate often.
Physical: Taller, projectable frame at 6-foot, 155lbs. 7.11 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, crouched stance, as the hands started in rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat, direct path that extends plane towards a two-handed finish. Worked into a stiff front-side, producing barrel-whip to the LCF part of the field, and a T91 mph exit, 67% line-drive rate combo via Trackman.
Defensively: The outfielder showed off choppy footwork while creating downward chest angles over the front side. Fielded cleanly with a soft glove-hand and set the hips in-line to the target, reaching back for 84 mph positionally (H ¾).
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the left side; higher stack position and uses it for timed-up momentum down the slope. Delivered a full arm-circle with life on the FB at 78-80 mph (1928). Mixed a short 71-73 mph SL with tight cut across the plate.
Physical: 6-foot-0, 155 pounds; Lean, wiry build. 7.19 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Extended take back of the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a long swing path with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 86 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep step while being aggressive. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 81 MPH.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while showing effortless and fluid actions; high 3/4 slot. Recoils with finish. FB: Peak velo of 79 MPH, while sitting 78-79 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 69-72 MPH; lands for strikes. ;CH: MPH;
