04/03/2016 - College PREP - Lake Charles, LA Austin is a muscular, athletic 3B who has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 60 time of 7.37. At 3B, defensive abilities are well above average, displaying smooth / fluid actions. Feet are aggressive as he shows a low approach, displaying clean hands. Glove action is soft / sure as he presents well out front. He works to get rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy on his throws. At the plate, he shows solid power potential through a closed setup. Hands are quick (89 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel with baseball exploding off the bat when centered, mainly to the pull side.
