08/03/2016 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 JD is an athletic 2 way player who continues to play hard and work hard on his game. Offensively is where he showed best, with good rhythm and tracking skills, the ball jumps off his bat (84 exit velocity), he shows easy power to all fields. Keeping his swing path level and trying to hit the inner 1/2 of the baseball will help with contact skills. At 3rd base, he sets up athletically pre pitch, creating good angles to ground balls to work under and through. Presenting his glove out in front to field will help greatly. On the mound, he shows good balance and direction, throwing consistently good strikes with his fastball that has late run to it. A 2018 graduate, JD shows promise at both positions/at the plate and will catch the eye of college coaches.
