01/12/2024 - 2024 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament Desmond is an athletic OF/RHP out of Gainesville, FL who showed as a top prospect at the All-America Pre-Season Tournament. In the OF, defensive abilities are outstanding as he displays smooth/easy actions. He shows active footwork and is agile moving to the ball. He gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes a quick exchange and gains momentum well on his throws, keeping them accurate with carry (83 mph velocity) through his target. Range is outstanding as he utilizes his tremendous foot quickness (6.82 60 time) in covering a lot of ground. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying excellent hitting/power potential through an athletic setup. He gets his hands activated in his load and drives through well with his lower half. He takes a level swing with bat speed (82 mph exit velocity), leading to loud contact through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, this righty has a 3-pitch arsenal in which to keep hitters guessing. Fastball showed a range of 81-82 mph on a downhill plane. Breaking ball displays 12/6 shape with downward break and is an outstanding out pitch. He maintains arm speed on his change showing slight sinking action. With 2 years to further develop, Desmond has big upside on the diamond and will get looks from collegiate coaches with abilities.
