‘30 C @haydenjones2030 Wow Factor The Brand 15U Has the frame (6’1 210), mental+physical toughness, loud tools, and intangibles to be a prototype backstop prospect. Offensively, there’s no guessing in approach. Shows natural pitch recognition & ability to adjust to all pitch types/locations out of hand in real time. Future plus raw power imminent, with all signs pointing safely to a future AVG or better bat. Behind the dish he catches quality stuff w/ ease and arm projects future plus. Smooth receiving & framing with the strength to absorb impact, minimize wasted movement, and keep thumb under all pitches for clean presentation. Swing Mechanics - Textbook posture over ball. Controlled+balanced fwd move, especially for amount of ground he gains. Optimal layback in turn from back elbow+oblique pinch (without any wrap) produces an accurate barrel that’s in zone early and adjustable. Creates ideal space & stretch from loading against stride at same pace. Swing begins at toe touch, not as early as possible but quick launch for size. Hands take over late in path, not early 👌

‘29 C @AndersonMc42 Wow Factor The Brand 16U Deleting ⚾️’s with ease in BP, 55/7 raw power may be conservative on this bat. Pin point separation timing allows him to maximize space for barrel to build momentum & accelerate thru contact. Current A/AVG MLB bat speed (73 mph avg w/ 🪵) with bat strength currently plus headed for top of scale. More importantly, his MLB ELITE rotational acceleration (26-30g w/ 🪵) allows him to track pitches deeper and make later swing decisions than the vast majority of amateur hitters.

‘29 C @AndersonMc42 Wow Factor The Brand 16U Very few in class match his raw power, but even fewer match the pure hit tool & intangibles. Continues to dominate the best 2029 arms since fall of ‘24, hitting .478 w/ 1.456 OPS (2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 SO) in 23 AB @ #WWBAWorlds while injured Pairs unmatched physicality, good athleticism in box w/ MLB elite rotational acceleration and standout pitch recognition. To further separate himself from top bats in this class, his 13% Whiff rate & 6.3% K rate in toughest PG events are beyond rare. Advanced receiving, framing, blocking behind the dish with A/AVG pops in game on regular. Showcase pops consistently mid to upper 1.8’s. Same conviction on the bat as I had with Marsh, Pierce, Lackey.

‘30 CF/RHP @jackhbaseball Wow Factor The Brand 15U Future plus runner & defender at premium position w/ standout fast twitch fibers. Major improvement to control effort has taken adjustability to another level vs off-speed pitches. Bat speed and loud EV’s are noticeable for age (w/ any wood bat). Swiss Army knife who impacts the game significantly in all facets. Highly advanced baserunner. Real ceiling on mound where he’s regularly T85.

‘29 CF/LHP @LUKASKLIPPER7 Wow Factor The Brand 16U Regularly puts on a show in BP, with consistent 90+ EV’s to all fields and an ideal mix of low LD’s & loft to deepest parts of field. Offseason adjustment of presetting hands near hitting slot has put elbows in proper position to create “good tension” with the core and back. Ultra repeatable trigger into launch position is well sequenced, as is the slow+minimal load against stride. Raw power continues to tick up before physical maturity.

Hit .500 w/ 1.319 OPS (3 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 9 RBI) in 28 AB at #WWBAWorlds Hit .600 w/ 1.514 OPS at #PGFallWS Hit .500 w/ 1.500 OPS at #WWBA

‘29 CF/LHP @LUKASKLIPPER7 Wow Factor The Brand 16U With just 1 full year on the big circuit, his production continues to rise with the increase in quality of arms he faces. Early readiness @ pitch release & swing quickness pair perfectly with his fast, accurate decision making on pitch locations+types. Improved, adjustable gap 2 gap swing direction has translated to the barrel staying in zone longer, as well as expanding plate coverage. Shows true CF traits, with instincts, tracking ability, and 6/7 arm playing up current AVG speed. With the production vs quality arms, and bat+mound ceilings (T90) seemingly endless, he’s a major August 1 priority.

Master the mechanics in cage, so we can accelerate intangibles for/in the game
