07/05/2018 - California Select Training & Competition - Session 1 (Ages 12-14) Rylan is an athletic and talented 2023 2-way prospect. At 1B, Rylan works off the bag and gets the center of his body into a good position to field the ball in front of him. Being on time with his prep step and presenting a low/early glove will allow him to work from the ground up when fielding ground balls. Continuing to work on agilitiES will increase his first step quickness to the ball and help to create more range at the position. At the plate, Rylan starts in a tall stance, loads his hands back into the drive position, and keeps a quiet head. He rotates his lower half into the ball and shows the ability to pull the ball. Continuing to attack the inside part of the ball and keeping his head down at contact will allow him to stay balanced throughout the swing. On the bump, Rylan gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and extends thru his delivery. Developing a secondary pitch, such as a change up, will help him to off set his fastball. Rylan will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
