07/10/2023 - National Showcase - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Clay is a 2024 RHP prospect with a tall, lanky frame 6'5" 170 pounds. At the plate, he starts in a squared, tall stance and has a short stride to the pitcher, doing a good job to keep his head still throughout. He does well to keep his balance centered through his swing and shows off some bait whip. He gets good extension on his swing through contact and works hard to get his lower half more involved. On the mound, he throws from a high 3/4 slot and shows off good command of the zone, throwing 19 of his 28 pitches for strikes. He does a good job of gathering his balance over the rubber and gets on-time separation. His eyes stay on his target and he works downhill, getting a proper stride length and showing off a controlled landing. He works hard to stay squared to the plate and not fall off to the 1B side. His FB has great movement, showing both run and sink and he throws it for a strike consistently. He does a great job of throwing his CH with FB arm speed and hurls it with good deception to the hitter. Overall, Clay is an exciting prospect that we are excited to see continue to develop as he enters his senior year!
