01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Gavin participated at the UA Preseason All-America as both a 1B and LHP, and showed similar skills as he did 6/09. At 1B, Gavin has good hands, feet and makes plays on balls hit his way. He can pick it out of the dirt and he works well around the bag. Quicker feet and a better pre-pitch routine should help Gavin continue to improve defensively. On the mound, Gavin has good mound presence and pitchability. He has a clean arm stroke, and repeats his delivery well. Gavin's hands break on time well and he has good balance and drive to the plate. He works to keep the ball down in the zone and does a nice job attacking hitters and throwing strikes. If Gavin can avoid throwing across his body, and get more extension on all his pitches we could see Gavin's stock on the mound rise. Offensively, Gavin has a simple set-up and a level swing path. His balance is good and he puts the ball in play with some power. Hitting grades can further improve if Gavin can get more extension to and through the ball and by letting it travel a little deeper in the zone. Overall, Gavin is a talented 2-way player with a bright upside.
