10/30/2016 - College PREP - Corpus Christi, TX Royce is a long, lean 2018 two-way prospect who is currently more advanced as a SS. He has natural hitting instincts with a good feel for the barrel and ability to consistently square up pitches. On the bump, he is a true three pitch pitcher, able to throw his fastball, curveball and change in any count with good command. He has a quick arm and good deception in his delivery to get the ball on the hitter quickly. Staying closed with his front side will lead to better glove side command and late life. At short, he displays quick, fluid footwork and agile lateral movements that lead to extended range to allow him to field balls deep in the hole. He fields with soft hands and has a quick exchange and release to throw with online carry to his target. His hands work well at the plate, showing a fast bat through the zone on a direct path to the ball. He lets the ball travel and gets good separation on his load to explode to the ball and show impressive pop to the pull side. Royce is an exciting player who looks to have a bright future on the diamond.
