Offensive Notes RHH- Wide stance, with a strong base. Very simple load (small stride with some slight hand separation) makes for a repeatable swing resulting in consistently barrelled baseballs during the batting practice session. Hands work extremely well through the zone, maintaining a strong connection to the lower half. Batting practice swing translated well in the game setting. Showed the slight tendency to come out of the legs at contact, this could cause issues on offspeed as you continue to face better pitching. Defensive Notes Continue to improve on your overall arm strength. This can be done by implementing a throwing/arm care program. Showed good lateral quickness, showing a good first step left and right. Attacks the ball well in the OF, consistently fielding the baseball out in front of the left side of the body creating room for adjustability and a good line of vision. Would like to see you implement a more aggressive pro-step gather/crow hop which will result in more velocity and better ball flight. This can be worked on pre-game when warming up
