07/10/2015 - 2015 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's National East Ray had a solid showing at the event at 1B and did show in the mound for the first time with the makings of a special type player at the next level. Currently, he projects best at 1B for the next level. At the plate is where he showed best through an athletic setup. Hands are quick, generating plus bat speed through a direct / level swing path. He has strength in his swing and works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. The baseball explodes off the bat when centered, creating backspin. At 1B, he shows proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. He is sure handed and consistently showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws.

Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained through a long toss program.
