• 60 time - 8.01 Receiving - Athletic set up / above average receiver / strong hands / stops the ball Transfer - Unorthodox transfer that is quick and repeatable. You are comfortable doing it so don't change it. Footwork - Need to gain a little ground toward 2B / Current footwork is unorthodox that is quick but non repeatable / Gaining ground will allow you to repeat Arm - Above average arm strength / positive spin on baseball - this means the ball stays up and does not sail to right center field / Arm does not get fully back so we think there will be more arm strength in the tank / Could possibly move to a plus arm with the adjustment of slot Pop time - 2.11 / This could easily be a sub 2 with implementation of mechanical adjustments Swing - Compressed set up / We recommend to stand up taller and use size for leverage / This would be more comfortable and athletic Average to above average bat speed / project gap power with the ability to drive balls with back spin to the opposite field Hands could get back a tad more only if you're comfortable with the adjustment. You could see an increase in power if you had better separation on the back.
