04/05/2024 - The Preseason All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach Colton performed well at the PreSeason All-Ripken Games for the Freedom team in Myrtle Beach. He has good rhythm to his approach at the plate with a good load and he showed the ability to use the entire field. He is very disciplined with good strike zone judgement as evidenced by his 7 walks during the event. We would like to see him keep his swing short and work on a 2-strike approach to improve his contact rate. Defensively Colton provides a good target at 1B and has feel around the bag. He is an athletic defender with good hands and solid overall actions. Colton also showed a fastball/curveball combination on the mound with a high leg kick and sound delivery mechanics. His direction to home plate is excellent and it helps him to throw consistent strikes. We hope to see Colton again soon and watch him further develop as a prospect.
