05/16/2010 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD Derek is a young, 2-way player that plays OF and RHP. In the OF, Derek has good hands and feet, and he works behind the ball well. He tracks the ball, works behind it, and finishes his throws with some life. Defensive grades can improve with a more closed front side and higher arm slot. On the mound, Derek has a live / loose arm and decent mechanics. He makes good use of his lower 1/2, and his FB looks deceiving. More finish and extension on his pitches, along with better command and more velocity will help his overall effectiveness on the mound. Offensively, Derek has a decent set-up and he tracks the ball well. He has good bat speed, and can hit the ball to all fields. Derek will need to keep his hands high, get more extension, and use more lower 1/2 in order for offensive grades to further improve.
