08/21/2011 - College PREP - Farmingville (Long Island), NY Edward is a tall, athletic two-way player as a 2B / OF that will graduate in 2012. Currently, he projects best defensively at 2B. Feet are active in coming to get groundballs but needs to be more aggressive in playing through with his body. He moves well laterally, flashing range as he will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Hands are soft and clean but get deep due to feet stopping through the fielding process as he needs to present more out front. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls but needs to work on getting behind more to play through with momentum to his target. Throws are accurate but he must get on a long toss program to aid in building more arm strength and carry. Offensively, Novak shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Hands work inside the ball as he utilizes all fields with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to utilize his lower half more efficiently through the swing. Edward has abilities with a lot of room to improve.
