07/25/2018 - National Tryout Plus - Avon (Cleveland), OH Ashton continues to show steady progress in his baseball abilities. At the plate, hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he improves barrel accuracy and utilizes his lower half more efficiently. Behind the plate, pop times showed in the 2.40 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and works to get rid of the baseball quicker. Hands are soft / sure and he sticks balls in the zone. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process but needs to improve flexibility and work to get down sooner.
