He gets in a squared fielding position and does well to present his hands out in front when fielding. He works smoothly right to left on ground balls. His exchange is clean and he has an efficient short arm action on throws. He does well on the move in the infield, and he does a great job of creating momentum and following his throws. At the plate, he starts in a quiet, squared stance and has a nice, short stride. He shows off a lot of intent in the box and shows off a fluid rhythm. His lower half does a good job of working through the baseball and he shows off fast bat speed with a short, direct swing path.

Troy is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on and we look forward to watching him develop further!

08/11/2020 - National Evaluation and Tryout - Trenton, NJ
Troy continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.38 runner. At SS, defensive abilities have improved as he displays fluid, smooth actions. He attacks balls with his feet and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and presents well out front. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting / power potential has improved through an open setup. He is aggressive as he attacks balls through a level swing path. Hands are quick and he makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.
