04/05/2024 - The Preseason All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach Jude is a physical young prospect who swung the bat well at the PreSeason All-Ripken Games. He seems to like the ball down in the zone where he can drop the barrel on it and hit it with authority. We like the way he uses the entire field with a comfort level to RF and RCF. Better balance with a more under-control swing will help him find the barrel more consistently. At 1B Jude provides a good target and makes routine plays. He flashes a good arm when starting double plays and that arm works well on the mound as well. In Myrtle Beach he threw a lot of strikes, pitched to contact and showed smooth, consistent mechanics on the mound. Overall Jude flashed some solid tools across the board and we look forward to seeing him again soon.
