Scouting Report

1/27/19 - PBR N CA Preseason All-State - Long, Medium frame with high waist and tight muscles in upper half showing projectability in frame for more growth; runs high with average stride length (7.69 60-yd). Narrow set up showing higher posture with athleticism to get out of stance and into legs; smooth transition from glove to throw hand and quick release. Times where upper/lower half are working out of sync and small adjustments will help lower pop times (2.11-2.26 pop, 71 MPH). Narrow stance with high back elbow and even hands; big leg lift with ability to sink into lower half as hands pull back/down in load. Bat is quick flashing pull side drive and more into the gaps when bat finishes on a slightly upward path; projectable swing with full body turns (86 exit velo).

Balanced and agile behind the plate showing quick transition with light feet showing strength in footwork; quick to ear with arm and compact release keeping ball on the arm side of the bag (2.00-2.12 pop, 71 MPH). Slightly crouched, balanced stance with even hands, relaxed elbows and high bat; hands stay tight while working back with front knee lift keeping balance in back hip. Stays behind the baseball working bat on level path with slight upwards finish; ability to drive ball gap-to-gap flashing barrel control and growing pop (81 exit velo).

Narrow, tall stance with strong posture and high hands/high back elbow; hands work down and back as front leg lifts creating strong separation between upper and lower half.

Scouting Report

1/27/19 - PBR N CA Preseason All-State - Large, wide frame with present strength and length in lower half; big, physical kid with some baby weight and lots of projectability in the frame (8.53 60-yd). Big, wide target and flashes athleticism behind the plate with turn and transfer to throwing hand; arm is strong showing high back elbow with slight recoil on throws (2.24-2.30 pop, 76 MPH). Glove hands shows strength with ability to stick pitches and slight movements back into zone on offspeed pitches; projectable skills that can continue to improve over next seasons. Slightly opened, balanced stance with knees turned towards each other showing strong posture and high back elbow; weight stays in back side on front foot lift with hands working back into shoulder. Controlled, aggressive swings staying behind the ball well with excellent extension out in front of plate and through the baseball; bat has easy loft and very easy to project big power as he regularly drove gaps and flashed pullside pop currently (83 exit velo). Raw skills currently and if he can improve his overall athleticism, could make big jumps quickly.
