01/17/2014 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament Layton continues to impress with his speed. He ran a 6.74 60 yard dash and got down the line 4.38 from the right side. At the plate, Layton shows good balance -rhythm to hit and will continue to work on loosening his hands for more pop off barrel. He displays an aggressive approach, having a swing path direct to contact through the hitting zone. He stays inside the baseball and when utilizing his lower 1/2, Layton adds more pop off barrel to all fields. Defensively, he shows a good pre-pitch ready position. When he fields the ball out front, he has a clean exchange, utilizes lower ½ following through with accurate throws with carry to 1B. He has a good feel for the MIF position. Layton will get looks to continue his game at the next level not by skill alone, but also because of his hustle and drive.
