10/19/2016 - Arizona Junior Fall Classic Connor continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities with the makings of a special type player at the next level. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a well above average runner at 7.16. In the OF, defensive abilities are now outstanding. He reads balls well off the bat and utilizes his athletic feet well in tracking down balls through proper routes / angles. Range is a plus as he covers a lot of ground and shows big play potential in the OF. He works behind the baseball and plays through with momentum to his target and gets rid of the baseball quickly. At the plate, hitting abilities are now well above average with outstanding power potential. Hands are quick (91 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength and stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. At the event, he was 2 for 7 with a 2B and 3B. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date, topping out at 82 mph. Fastball shows good arm side run. He maintains arm speed on his changeup, showing a feel for pitch with sinking action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with sharp break. Control is well above average as he attacks hitters, throwing strikes with all his pitches. He maintains good composure and competes on the bump. With 2 years to further develop, Connor has a big upside and will get looks from the collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities, possibly as a two-way guy.
