‘29 CF/LHP @LUKASKLIPPER7 15U Natty ➡️ 16U Toronto Blue Jays Scout Team 🇨🇦

6’0, 165. With an ultra smooth sequence, gradual build of pace, and arm path working as one w/ largest throwing muscles he’s the definition of ease of operation+connection. Metrically, visually rare FB in 2.3-2.4k range with eye popping IVB #’s. Combining its late, sudden tail brings whiffs+swords+freezes on a regular basis. CB and CH shapes continue to improve. As he physically matures, this is without a doubt a mid 90’s arm by spring ‘29.

FB 86-87 T88 🦄 (PR 89 per PG)
CB 72-75 feel to bury & backdoor
CH 75-76 fade, depth

Mechanical ✅’s

•Rhythm between hands & lift knee
•Posture (chest over balls of feet)
•Hand break timing
•Full circle AA creates loose momentum w/ drop out of glove, not pull. Textbook elbow lift, flip up, spiral.
•Coil & hip hinge connect arm path to largest leg muscles & core on backside
•Natural roll to inside of back foot in down phase creates knee angle thru target
•Stacks upper half at bottom of down phase
•Clean up+down+out phases w/ knee lead to good direction

‘30 RHP/1B @khydover🔒15U Blue Jays Scout Team

6’3 175 of pure funk, deception, and exceptional pitch life. Arm action works naturally @ pace of stride, brings advanced timing & strikes throughout arsenal. SNK/SL combo show more than a plates 🍽️ worth of HZB in opposite directions. Very good rhythm, balance, and sequencing for broad shouldered+long levered frame.

FB 82-85 T86 run+sink (16-17 HZB
SL 69-72 🥏🥏🥏 (-19 to -22 HZB, T2.3k
CH 75-77 fade, depth (15-16 HZB)

Offensively he’s a low risk, high ceiling bat with consistent RC approach & inside-out path. Footwork, instincts, hands are advanced at 1B.

‘31 RHP/IF @declansabean31🔒14U Blue Jays Scout Team

Ideal build of pace in delivery with compact, connected short circle AA (H3/4) tough for hitters to pick up. Drives ball downhill well from higher slot, creating steep plane at bottom of zone. Hitters also must account for natural angle from slight crossfire. Advanced pitchability , changes heights on FB, speeds on secondaries w/ ease. Confident, attacks zone.

FB 79-82 T83 run
CB 67-68 sweep, late depth
CH 70-72 hvy

[Justin Goetz @JGoetzBaseball]

Timing - The forward move w/ pitch release. Notice back hip releasing as arm gets into layback

Simplicity - Tips barrel into launch position by pitch release. Allows him to focus on… track ➡️create space/stretch➡️swing

Stacking - Holding back leg bend (hamstring+glute pressure) in stride to minimize head movement, keep hips down, control stride length = maintain balance/proper weight distro

[Justin Goetz @JGoetzBaseball]

‘28 SS @godbold_nate 16U WF Toronto Blue Jays Scout Team

Has some of the most compact, efficient, adjustable swing mechanics you’ll see in the class.

•Squats into rear leg (hamstring, glute), connecting+engaging lower half w/ swing before it happens
•Core (coils), elbows (front elbow to sternum, back elbow adducts), and back load hands inward. Connects all levers for an efficient, adjustable turn
•Entire backside turns as one. Two separate actions happening at same time - 1. Back knee+back hip turn 2. Back elbow+back hip pinch. These actions turn the barrel, quickly and explosively, but only if connected before hand.
•Hands don’t control swing until last 25% of path

Notice how the front arm stays bent during the swing, rotating around the rib cage and steering the barrel based off pitch location/type. This makes him quicker to ⚾️ and gives more ability+time to adjust & deliver barrel accurately.

What happens before the turn is just as important in creating a quality turn and swing path.

‘31 UTL/RHP @declansabean31 14U Blue Jays Scout Team

Continues to make quality contact vs high velocity arms. Moves early & slow to simplify timing, with advanced readiness at pitch release. This allows him to focus on pitch recognition, adjusting to pitch location, and contact point timing and remove mechanics from the equation. Exceptional defender at all IF/OF positions and standout IQ. https://t.co/Kis5zIpy1O…

As 14u comes to a close with the Jr Future Games, key metrics and stats to wrap up the year.

Sleeper ‘28 3B/2B @Aaronfrink_1 16U Nation knows how to deliver the barrel

Notiecable bat speed & bat strength who is learning how to turn behind the ⚾️

[Aaron Frink 🇺🇸🇦🇸 @Aaronfrink_1]

A couple of home runs from my sophomore spring and summer season. Grateful for every opportunity to compete and thankful for everyone who’s helped me along the way.

New PRs:
⚾️ EV: 103 mph
🚀 Distance: 394 ft

The work continues. 💪

‘30 RHP/3B/1B @J_mills2327 14U Natty ➡️ 15U Blue Jays

Command & movement combo of 3 pitches you rarely see at this age. Effortless delivery builds gradual pace w/ textbook direction and body control. Ability to keep shoulders neutral and hold upper half counter rotation throughout stride is extremely advanced. Highly deceptive short circle AA (L3/4), creates surprising angle while maintaining ability to pronate/supinate consistently. Closed foot lander.
