05/23/2010 - College PREP - Tampa, FL James is a strong, athletic 3B with a good set of skills. Defensively, James has a good set-up and life in his feet. He keeps his eyes to the ball, and he flashes a nice backhand. James throws on a downhill plane, accurately across the diamond. Defensive grades can improve with a looser arm and avoiding his drop step at times. Offensively, James has a balanced approach and a quick trigger. He makes good contact with the ball and can spray to all fields. Hitting can get better with a shorter, more compact swing and more use of his strong lower 1/2.
