01/12/2018 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City Tristan continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At the plate, hitting abilities have improved through a tall, closed setup and an aggressive approach. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Barrel accuracy is a plus and he makes consistent hard contact. At the event, he was 3 for 4 with 2 BB as he shows a patient approach and strong recognition of the strike zone. At 2B, he displays smooth/clean actions. We want to see Tristan present his hands out in front. Feet are aggressive as he attacks balls and plays through with his body. He shows off his athletic abilities on double play feeds/turns. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 71-74 mph with arm side run. Control is well above average as he throws strikes, locating to both sides of the plate. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength will aid in improving abilities on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
