06/03/2018 - College PREP - Folsom (Sacramento), CA Colby is a strong, talented RHP/SS graduating in 2019. In the field, Colby displays a pre-pitch routine with agile range and shows a good feel for backhand plays. He shows a low fielding position and makes clean exchanges into a 3/4 arm slot, changing arm angles when needed. Colby could see improvement by attacking ground balls harder and presenting his hands out front of his body when making plays. On the mound, Colby shows a four-pitch mix (FB, SL, CB and CH) from a 3/4 arm slot. He shows solid, repeatable mechanics with a smooth delivery to the plate, tucking his glove and getting extension upon release. His FB shows arm-side run and ranges from 77-81 mph, SL has an 11/5 shape and ranges from 64-69 mph, a CB that ranges from 62-65 mph and a CH that shows run, ranging from 60-66 mph. Colby could improve accuracy and velocity by implementing a throwing program to his training. At the plate, Colby shows good potential through a line drive approach. He displays an open set up with a short stride and a back-side hand load. Rhythm is smooth as he keeps his balance center and stays through with his lower half. Bat speed is fast as he makes hard contact through a direct swing path. Colby can improve offensively by keeping his head on the ball and letting it travel a little longer. Colby is a good player that shows a lot of potential everywhere on the field. With another year of fine tuning to his game, he can play at the next level and make an impact.
