07/05/2024 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (MS) Gavin continued development and growth in baseball is impressive, and he truly seems to have a bright future ahead of him on the diamond. His smooth and fluid actions at shortstop highlight his natural athleticism and understanding of the position. The fact that he actively attacks the ball and plays through it with his body demonstrates a strong fielding mentality. As he works on his foot quickness, it's encouraging to note that his lateral movement and range are improving, which will further enhance his defensive capabilities. At the plate, his loose hands and aggressive swing path allow him to generate good bat speed, and the line drive approach combined with the potential for increased power as he properly utilizes his lower half indicates significant upside in his offensive game. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 51 mph. Fastball showed a range of 48-51 mph. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but throws too hard, resembling fastball. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and develops off speed pitches. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
