05/28/2023 - National Showcase - Minneapolis, MN Joey is a RHP/1B prospect who will graduate in 2025. Tall frame athletic build with strength present and plenty of room to add more strength throughout. At 1B, he starts with active/efficient feet and takes aggressive angles to baseball. Creates good angles glove side, with good glove actions, and fields from a square fielding position. Made accurate/on-line throws to second base from a 3/4 release point and an arm velocity up to 92mph. Showed good footwork around bag. On the mound, he has a projectible frame with long levers. He works with good tempo and throws with intent. Gets a good rear hip coil and has a controlled landing. Throws a FB that sits 83-87mph with some tailing action, an 11/5 shaped curveball that flashes good depth through the strike zone, and a 10/4 shaped slider he throws with FB arm speed. FB was best pitch during his bullpen. At the plate, he hits from a crouched and open stance. Showed natural juice in swing, with a fast barrel through the hitting zone, and is centered at contact. A direct barrel path enables him to square up balls into both gaps with a bat exit velocity up to 93mph. With 2 years of continued growth and development, we foresee Joey having opportunities to play at the next level.
