04/07/2024 - National Showcase - Charlottesville, VA Ira continues to shine with his baseball abilities on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.81 with accuracy on his throws. Time will continue to drop as he build more arm strength through a long toss program. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. Glove action is clean but will benefit by presenting more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach, spraying the balls to all fields. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn.
