William Sherrill OF/C

07/11/2017 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition - Session 1 (Ages 14-18) William is a tall, lengthy OF/ C who will graduate in 2019. William again showcased well at the plate. From a closed setup, he uses a simple load and stride to then fire his quick hands to the baseball. He showed a level bat path which allowed him to keep the bat in the zone longer. Implementing his lower half more will increase power. Behind the plate, William showed the ability to block pitches well and center the ball. He had a clean transfer and made accurate throws. William received pitches softly and stuck pitches well. Improving footwork will help lower his pop times. In the OF, he took good angles on balls and made an easy exchange with strong throws. Getting more reps and gaining confidence will help take William’s game to the next level moving forward.

04/02/2017 - College PREP - Greensboro, NC William is a lean C/OF who will graduate in 2019. At the plate is where he shows best through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive approach. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. Behind the plate, feet are aggressive and active as he works in line to his target, through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times show in the 2.40 range with accuracy to his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength and works to get rid of the baseball quicker. He displays an athletic setup and sticks balls in the zone. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process but will benefit by squaring up his stance and getting down quicker. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls but needs to play through more with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. With 2 years to further develop, William has abilities with time and room to continue to improve.
