06/17/2017 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 (Ages 14-18) Caden continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate is where he has improved the most, through an athletic setup. Hands are quick, (81 mph exit velocity) generating bat speed through a level swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel with baseball exploding off the bat centered as he works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields. Defensively, he attacks balls, plays through well, and presents soft / sure hands out front. He gets rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy across the diamond. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date, topping out at 80 mph. Fastball showed a range of 79-80 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Control is outstanding as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he is extremely coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
