10/25/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Broussard, LA Here’s a refined version of the description for Layton’s performance at the All-Ripken event: Layton’s Performance at the All-Ripken Event (Broussard, LA) Layton delivered a strong defensive performance at the All-Ripken event in Broussard, LA. Defensively, he demonstrated an athletic approach to the game with impressive range and a powerful, accurate arm. He does an excellent job getting behind the ball, consistently playing hops correctly and reading the bat with good awareness. His strong defensive fundamentals, coupled with his ability to make precise throws, make him a standout in the field. At the plate, Layton showed solid bat-to-ball skills, making consistent contact. However, his swing mechanics are currently more reliant on his upper body, with limited use of his lower half. As he continues to develop and incorporates more of his lower half into his swing, his power potential should increase significantly, giving him the ability to drive the ball with greater authority.
