Mason continues to shine on the diamond. At 1B, he displays smooth/fluid actions. His feet play well, and moves with good body control to the baseball, displaying proper footwork around bag. Glove action is soft/sure and presents well out front. Range will increase as he improves his foot quickness. At the plate, hitting/power potential has improved through an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 60 mph. Fastball showed a range of 56-60 mph. Breaking ball displays 12/6 shape with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
