07/24/2019 - Under Armour Southwest Championships 17U, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One Gillis is an athletic OF/RHP who is a prospect on the diamond. Foot speed is outstanding as indicated by his 60 time of 6.94. In the OF not many balls get down that are hit his way. Transfer exchange is smooth as he zips (86 mph velocity) throws on a line through his target. He has the versatility to play all 3 OF spots effectively. At the plate, he continues to shine. He stands in with a solid/strong base and has fluid rhythm to load. Barrel delivery is short/quick with aggression (84 mph exit velocity) as he connects with power driving to all parts of the field. At the event, he was 4 for 5 with a 3B and 3 BB as he shows a solid eye and patient approach. On the mound, delivery is sound / repeatable as he shows good tempo through a strong balance point, allowing his arm action to work quick and free to the plate. Fastball shows a range of 78-81 mph with sinking action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup, showing a plus feel for pitch with arm side run. Slider is harder with tight spin and short break. Off speed stuff show as quality pitches that will get outs at the next level. Command / control is well above average as he locates well to both sides of the plate. Gillis has a big upside and will get looks from the top collegiate coaches and pro scouts with his baseball abilities.
