Bryce showed as both a LHP/1B at the Cape Cod Select Training and Competition with Baseball Factory. Defensively, he worked from the ground up and made plays with a soft glove. He had easy smooth actions, and showed a good idea of the position. Offensively, he was athletic, balanced, and hit off a stiff front side. He worked his lower half to whip the barrel through the zone, but could boost consistency with his fluidity. On the mound, he threw his FB from 67-71 with tail, spun a 3/9 CB, and had a good tempo pitch to pitch. He worked downhill, and was very competitive when he stayed directional to the dish. In all - Bryce is a hard worker that showed good passion and work ethic through some nagging knee injuries.
05/03/2015 - College PREP - Adrian (Detroit), MI
Bryce displayed his best ability to date in his most recent Baseball Factory outing. Defensively at 1B, he made plays with a sure glove and was consistent to get into his fielding position. He had a clean arm stroke to throw and threw from multiple slots with accuracy. Quickening his feet and coming to get his hops will help boost fielding percentage. Offensively, he showed a spray approach and rotated his core to generate bat speed. He carries his hands rather low currently, and engages them, but should be cautious of the big move as he continues to face better competition. On the hill, he threw his FB from 70-71, spun a 1/7 CB from 55-58, and showed feel for a sinking CH. His off-speed stuff was impressive for a freshman and with greater arm speed and strength through a throwing program will boost all pitching numbers. In all - Bryce is an intriguing player with a lot of upside as he begins to fill his L/L frame.
