01/28/2024 - National Showcase - San Antonio, TX Axel is a OF/RHP who will graduate in 2025. At the plate is where he shows best, displaying solid hitting/power potential through a crouched, open setup. Hands are quick (85 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap-to-gap pop. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. In the OF, he utilizes his aggressive feet as he takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He needs to work to get behind balls and play through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his foot quickness (7.26 60 time) in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 72-74 mph with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Axel has a lot of potential with time and room to progress his game.
