07/13/2010 - College PREP - Washington DC, MD James showed good improvements in his game since his last workout in Baltimore. At SS, James improved both is arm and fielding grades from 42 to 45 and 45 to 50, respectively. He has very good, quick footwork and soft / playable hands. He has athletic actions, an early glove, and he works around the ball. James fields the ball out in front of his body and he throws accurately with carry across the diamond. If James can use 2 hands more, and follow his throws to his target, we could see defensive numbers continue to improve. On the mound James has good direction toward the plate, he repeats his delivery well, and he works in good tempo. He gets to his balance point well, has good separation, and has good glove side lead toward home plate. Added physical strength and more use of his lower 1/2 will help mound effectiveness further improve. Offensively, James has a loose grip, solid set-up, and a short stroke. He has good barrel accuracy, a level swing, and he puts the ball in play. Hitting numbers can get better with more aggressiveness, a shorter stroke, and with better use of his lower 1/2.
