William Ralls, Foster (TX), 2030 Positional Profile: C/SS Compact, athletic frame with some present strength in the lower half and room to continue adding more. Shows a good foundation with average width through the shoulders and back. At the plate, hits from a slightly open stance with a stride and glide load. Lower half works into a balanced launch with hands moving into a solid hitting position. Shows feel for the barrel with a flat path through the zone and the ability to create extension out front. Continued development in staying in the legs and maintaining a consistent hand position at launch will help improve overall consistency and impact. Power projects well within the swing and should continue to develop as strength and maturity increase. Defensively, shows versatility between the infield and behind the plate. On the dirt, moves well with solid angles, footwork, and the ability to play through the ball. Behind the plate, shows good receiving skills with a clean exchange and quick release. Arm works with a clean path, accuracy, and developing strength that should continue to improve. Athletically, shows effort in the run with good stride length and overall movement patterns. Overall, young, athletic profile with a developing bat and defensive versatility, offering solid long term upside as strength and consistency continue to improve. Body: 5-3, 115-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Sloping shoulders with avg width to back. Some strength to lower. Hit: RHH. Slightly open stance in setup. Uses more stride and glide type load. Weight shifts to 50/50 launch. Hands can stay high at times. Should be around arm pit/top of shoulder on front foot strike. Hands an elbows start into hit zone well. Barrel flattens. Some extension out front. Can stay in lower half a little more. Tends to come up out of legs at times. Power: 79 max exit velocity, averaged 73.9 mph. 238' max distance. Projects well with hit tool. Shows feel for barrel now. Bat/power combo in future. Arm: RH. C-65 mph. INF-67 mph. Arm works with clean path. Accurate throws with good spin. Raw arm strength will continue to develop.
