05/08/2016 - College PREP - Madison, WI James is an athletic RHH 2B who has speed. This leadoff type of hitter stands in well with centered balance and rhythm to load. He has an aggressive approach, engages his lower 1/2 and drives the ball with some pop. He hustles out of the box and down the 1B line (60 yard dash = 7.01). Defensively, he has active footwork with smooth actions working around the GB into a square fielding position. He gathers well and works in-line toward 1B - firing accurate throws. Continuing to develop his footwork will help to increase his lateral range in the INF. James is a solid all-around player who should find success on the diamond.
