12/20/2015 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Gooch is a 2016 graduate that showed the ability to play all over the field and a hard-working approach at Pirate City. Defensively, Payton showed a good set up and played through a clean exchange with sure hands. Gooch should look to be more aggressive with his routes to the baseball and have a bit more of an attacking mentality in the OF. He displayed a quality arm stroke that kept his throws accurate and on-line to the target. At the plate, Payton worked from a square set up and will benefit from developing a consistent stride and load complex to get himself into a solid launch position. There is good balance for Payton and he does show fluidity to the stroke and the ability to drive through the baseball at contact with a loose finish. This versatile athlete will benefit from his hard-working approach to have a solid senior season in 2016.
