02/22/2009 - College PREP - Rocky Mount, NC Ethan is a SS with an outstanding, athletic looking body that shows projection as it continues to physically mature. Foot speed is superior as indicated by his 6.58 60 time. He utilizes his quick, athletic feet well in coming to get and playing through ground balls in the infield. Range is a plus as he moves very well laterally. Glove action is soft, clean, and sure in making all the plays. He needs to present his glove more down and out front. Backhand is solid and he is not afraid to use it. Defensive abilities in the middle of the infield are above average. Arm strength is above average displaying life, carry, and accuracy across the diamond. He needs to get on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength and carry on throws. At the plate, Clark has average ability with slightly above average power. He has a quiet approach and shows a feel for the barrel to the pull side but has some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential. Hitting grades will improve quickly with instruction and adjustments at the plate. Ethan has athletic abilities and will catch the eyes of the college coaches with his defensive play. Stock will rise in a hurry if his hitting comes around.
