07/18/2024 - Baseball Factory National World Series at JRTC AJ is an athletic 3B who will graduate in 2028. At 3B, he displays solid infield actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body, showing good body control. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. He moves well laterally and utilizes his foot quickness in covering ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows as a switch hitter with similar abilities from both sides. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. At the event, he was 2 for 4 with a 2B. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be. With 4 years to further develop, AJ has potential with time and room to progress his game.
