Jaxon
Fox

West Coast Games

One of the better offensive performers in the state regardless of class. After hitting .439 as a sophomore at Cottonwood HS as the primary catcher, Fox moved over to powerhouse Olympus HS and put up big numbers, by hitting .524 as the leadoff hitter in front of 2 other Future Games alums. Versatile defender that moved from behind the plate to 2B and also did see time behind the plate in deference to a MLB prospect. A high bat to ball type that walks more than he strikes out and finds barrels to the pull side and can handle velocity, as he crowds the plate and stays inside the baseball, while getting the bat head out front. A quick power ½ with twitch allows for range in the MIF and a quick pop to release behind the plate. A 1.91-1.99 pop was the best of the event and was on the money with his throws. Also showed plus movement patterns at SS during defensive work and the feet are educated and he gets rid of the ball and throws K’s with a clean fluid arm stroke across the diamond. An athlete that actually deserves money over others that have been offered over him. He's better than most recruits that are already committed.

(Very similar package as the previous event in June) Not much has changed, except you can see some added confidence and swag now) Jaxon impressed me with his athleticism and overall movement patterns. Behind the plate, his receive and exchange of the baseball was solid and although his times were BA (2.04-2.11), his throws were to the bag and at times through the bag. The feet will get quicker has he gains weight and overall strength. From SS he showed solid actions and addressed the ball while syncing his hands and feet well. He showed confidence and was relaxed while taking his GB’s. The feet and glove exchange into his throwing mechanics were sound and coordinated! The arm is loose and fluid and his throws were online. The arm this go around was one of the better at the event, as he was 80 mph across the diamond. The bat once again showed projection as well. His lower 1/2 synced well with his load into the launch phase and his bat path was smooth and had a 65% plane efficiency. I look for this kid to improve in spades as he gets older and fills out an athletic frame. Want to see more and look forward to the fall to see the improvement that I believe wholeheartedly is in there!
