06/01/2024 - BF Evaluation Experience at Pigeon Forge Austin is an athletic C/3B who is a prospect on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Pop times showed in 2.31 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At 3B, he displays smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he works to square ground balls up but needs to play through with his body. Glove action is firm well out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. With 6 years to further develop, Austin has potential with time and room to progress his game.
