T.J. DelMonte OF

12/27/2017 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) T.J. continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and is a prospect on the diamond. At the plate is where he has improved the most, now displaying outstanding hitting/power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (90 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. In the OF, he continues to shine as he displays smooth actions. Feet are aggressive as he takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He reads balls well off the bat and works to get behind balls but needs to play through with momentum to his target. Range will continue to improve as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate with on line carry as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and plays the game hard.

08/27/2017 - College PREP - Wilmington, DE T.J. is a strong, solid, lefty OF who will graduate in 2019. Defensively, T.J. shows athletic actions, he attacks the ball aggressively and moves with good agility to the ball. He works behind fly balls properly, his exchange is clean, and he delivers the ball with carry and accuracy to his target. More pre-pitch actions and added momentum toward his target when throwing will only help defense get better. At the plate, T.J. is an aggressive hitter with a square set-up, proper load, and good balance. He has fast bat speed, makes square contact, and can spray to all fields. Hitting grades can improve if T.J. can work on barrel accuracy and timing.
