11/08/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Select Training & Competition (HS) Dylan is a versatile 2025 first baseman and left-handed pitcher from Sioux Falls, SD, who recently made significant improvements in all phases of his game at the Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Training in Arizona. Standing with a tall, lean frame, Dylan has plenty of room to add strength, which will further enhance his already solid skills. As a first baseman, he starts on the balls of his feet, staying low and agile to work around the ball. He has a quick, clean transfer and makes accurate throws to all bases, while his footwork around the bag is strong, allowing him to scoop balls with ease. At the plate, Dylan is a left-handed hitter who starts in a tall, open stance with comfortable hands. He utilizes his natural strength to generate gap-to-gap power, and when on plane early, his swing produces strong barrel contact. However, he has a tendency to lift and pop out at times, an area that can be fine-tuned for more consistency. On the mound, Dylan shows deceptive stuff, throwing a fastball, curveball, and slider. While his pitches have potential, he needs to smooth out his delivery and improve his command to reach his full potential as a pitcher. With another season of development, Dylan has the tools to continue growing both offensively and defensively, and with more refinement, he can become a key contributor on both sides of the game.
