12/27/2023 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 James is a RHP/1B out of Bethpage, NY who attended the Pirate City Christmas Camp & Tournament. At 1B, he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. At the plate, he has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel. Hands are quick (82 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing. He makes consistent hard contact with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 77-79 mph with cutting action. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with tight spin and sharp break. Control is a plus as he attacks hitters, throws strikes with all his pitches. He is poised and shows a good mound presence. James has a great attitude, is very coachable, and works hard on the diamond.
