11/17/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Montgomery, AL James continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. In the OF, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth / clean actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At 1B, he displays proper footwork around the bag and he is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Throws are accurate but he will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a tall, closed setup. Hands are loose and works through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Hitting grades will continue to improve as he works to get stride foot down sooner to work on time. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.
