Nate Starks, Goodpasture Christian (TN), 2027 /
Positional Profile: OF/1B
Body: 6-0, 189-pounds. Impressive body control with a medium build that retains muscle well. Still has room to add muscle.
Hit: RHH. Strong look to him in the box with his knees bent and hands ready to go above his shoulder. Has a small leg kick that sees him really sink into his back leg and drive down into the ground with his legs. He does a very good job making a tight turn and keeping his head level through the swing. Carries a high level of intent through the swing, as he looks to go through the center fielder. Despite the high intent he maintains control and balance, staying through the zone for a long time. Look for much more EV and bat speed in the coming years. 61.9 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 69.5 mph. 288' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-82 mph. Smoothness through his arm action with an over the top release. More velo to come.
Defense: Moves well through the ball with controlled and accurate footwork.
ATH: 7.27 runner in the 60. 1.97 and 4.69 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

(Goodpasture, 2027) The top-40 player in the 2027 freshman class is making an early impact hitting .500 (7-14) through 5 games. Starks jumped on my radar at our Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State where he showed a base floor with plenty of future athleticism. He already possesses physicality in the profile at 5 foot 10 and 185 pounds, while clocking him in the 7.1’s for his sixty. The swing is easy and compact throughout, while consistently barreling up baseballs and will provide a major spark for the Cougars in the middle part of their lineup. He is a guy that should start getting on college coaches' radar this upcoming summer.

Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 5-10, 183-pounds. Muscular athetlic frame with explosive movements that will develop more strength as he develops.
Hit: RHH. Starts with a wider, balanced setup with hands at shoulder. Sits into knee with a small leg kick, and the hands load into the scap the bat 30 degrees behind the head. Generates great seperation before the barrel comes through with a whipping action. Good feel for back leg as it drives into the ground. Drives the ball with backspin to the pullside. Can get on top of the ball at times. Turns very well, swing will develop extremely well as body develops with it. 66.9 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 76.3 mph. 287' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-80 mph. Strong accurate arm with more to come.
Defense: Shows confidence coming too and through ball. Gains good momentum with power crow hop before throwing.
ATH: 7.40 runner in the 60. 1.77 in the 10 yard split. 25.20 max vertical.
