Gavin ran his best 60 to date coming in at 6.82 seconds. With his consistent ability to get behind fly balls paired with his 82mph arm strength, he will continue to be a threat in the outfield. At 6'5", his comfort around the bag at first base is an added bonus. At the plate, his exit velocity bumped up 5mph since our last viewing now coming in at 87mph which is well above average. His athleticism is desirable and as he continues to fill into his body, he should turn heads.
