11/16/2008 - College PREP - Shreveport, LA Ethan is an OF with a small body that does show some projection as it continues to fill out. Foot speed is solid average and has improved since the last time that we saw him. He utilizes his foot speed well in tracking down balls in the outfield.

He plays through ground balls well. Defensive abilities are average. Arm strength is slightly average displaying some life and carry on throws. He does need to finish throws with his feet and body, staying behind. At the plate, Rains has slightly average abilities with average power.
