09/24/2016 - 2016 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's Futures West Clayton is an intriguing young prospect with a high ceiling. His left-handed bat continues to be his calling card, as he uses his present strength and a simple swing to drive balls to all parts of the park. The barrel gets to contact quickly from a high hand set and the stroke is repeatable. Clayton showed his versatility at the Under Armour Futures West event working out behind the plate and catching in the game. We have seen his advanced ability at 3B in the past and were impressed with his ability at the catching position. He used a quick exchange and decent arm strength to get the ball to 2B in 1.95 during the workout. He shows a feel for receiving and blocking that will continue to improve with more reps behind the plate. Overall, this is a versatile defender with an impact LH bat.
