06/30/2014 - College PREP - Erie, PA Austin displayed solid skills offensively and behind the plate as his last workout in Erie. He is a gap to gap type hitter with simple actions and good bat speed. He shows solid balance, a square stride, and power in his bat. If Austin can liven his hands, improve his timing, and use more lower 1/2, hitting will further improve. Behind the plate, Austin showed well too, with proper footwork, sure hands, and good body control. He blocks quickly, takes solid angles, and throws with accuracy to second base. Catching grades can improve if Austin can quicken his feet and shorten his arm stroke/release when throwing to second base.
