Day 2 Batting Practice Highlights
6/10/2014
Red:
Cameron Locklear (MIF-2016-Fayetteville, NC) shows fast hands from the right side which help produce easy bat speed from a balanced stance with consistent line drive contact to the middle and left sides of the field.
Ronald Washington (OF-2017-Houston, TX) Although having just completed his freshman year, Washington showed some power beyond his years, driving a pitch far over the replica Green Monster in left field. He stays short to the ball and it jumps off his bat when squared up.
Zach Weller (3B-2016-Coronado, CA) showed projectable strength and bat speed with some lift in his swing and carry off the bat when it's squared up.
Hayden Freeman (SS-2016-Hoover, AL) has a fast bat and used it to create line drive contact throughout his round. He also showed interesting power for the right-side which should continue to develop nicely.
Lael Lockhart Jr (1B/LHP-2016-Friendswood, TX) is a switch hitter who showed a strong feel from the left side. With a fluid swing and nice use of his lower half, Lockhart was able to create hard line drive contact to his pull side with lift to right field.
Michael Neustifter (C-2016-Carrollton, TX) is a well built and strong 6-foot-3 and used that strength in his swing, with the ball jumping off the barrel to his pull side. He gets the bat quickly through the zone with lift in his swing.
Mike Vasturia (RHP/3B-2016-Medford, NJ) showed a quick swing from the left side using a simple approach and mechanics at the plate. The ball carries well off the barrel and projects for more strength in the near future.
Royal:
Jake Clawson (3B-2016-Daleville, IN) creates nice extension in his easy swing and made consistent, hard contact to left field and put one ball over the Green Monster.
Eric Monroe Moll (1B-2016-Kingwood, TX) has a very strong build with a quick bat and showed interesting strength in his right-handed swing that should be followed.
Joe Rizzo (3B-2016-Oak Hill, VA) is a left-handed bat who showed interesting tools at the plate. With a short, fast bat path, Rizzo is able to create lift with strength at the contact point and drove one ball out down the right field line.
Colton Welker (SS-2016-Coral Springs, FL) shows a loose swing with good bat speed and a fluid path to the ball, consistently barreling up the ball to his pull side.
Gian Luca Dalatri (RHP/1B-2016-Wall, NJ) has begun to fill out his 6-foot-6 frame and it shows at the plate as he is able to lift the ball deep to left field with the ball carrying nicely off the barrel.
Texas Orange:
Chase Cheek (OF- 2016- Orlando, FL) showed very quick hands that produced doubles power. While he lacks the strength to drive the ball out of the park at present, he has big projection and could overtake a lot of the hitters that are currently more impressive in terms of present power.
Riley Hogan (3B- 2016- Orlando, FL) was a convincing switch hitter, while he's more advanced from the left side he showed believable prospect level projection from the right side as well. He uses his lower half well and drove the ball well from the left side with pullside power.
Drew Mendoza (SS- 2016- Minneola, FL) showed good bat speed and projectable power. His BP session was impressive, taking long aggressive swings to generate good barrel whip.
Joe Skinner (3B- 2016- Heathrow, FL) showed big time upside in BP, with easy bat speed that projects well with good weight shift through contact. His late trigger caused him to use his bat speed to catch up on several swings and it prevented him from having the type of results that make his upside obvious to everyone in the park, but those who were baring down certainly noticed just how well he accelerates the bat, and understands it's significance to his long term projection.
Carlos Cortes (MIF- 2016- Oviedo, FL) showed quick strong hands with a HR derby approach that included an impressive home run into the bullpen behind the right field fence.
White:
Brandon Chinea (MIF- 2016- Palmetto Bay, FL) showed a quick compact swing with a line drive plane and produced consistent hard contact. He should prove to be a tough out with that swing and offensive skill set and should make a lot of contact.
Mike Musselwhite (SS- 2016- Lumberton, NC) has a line drive stroke with quick hands and good hand-eye coordination.
Landon Silver (OF- 2016- Miami, FL) showed loose hands and a smooth swing that features solid present bat speed that projects well. He uses his lower half well and has the makings of power already with good carry off the bat.
Cam Shepherd (SS- 2016- Duluth, GA) generates quality bat speed with a short simple swing that he control well in spite of swinging with a lot of effort.
Seth Beer (OF- 2016- Suwanee, GA) showed big leverage and raw power with easy bat speed and was one of the highest upside hitters of the day's BP session that included several of the top prospects in the nation.
Michael Amditis (C- 2016- Boca Raton, FL) showed big power with a loose swing that generated easy bat speed. He played ping pong with the Green Monster in left, hammering seven balls off of it in his 10 swings of the round. It was the highlight of the day's BP session.
Alejandor Toral (1B- 2017- Davis, FL) had the longest shot of the day, blasting a home run off of the back wall of the bullpen behind right field.
