04/05/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach, SC Mason is a physical young player who participated in the PreSeason All-Ripken Games in Myrtle Beach. He takes an aggressive swing with an uphill path that leads to some hard contact. As he learns to control his swing a bit more with limited head movement, we feel his hard contact will become more consistent. He is selective at the plate with good strike zone judgement and showed the ability to drive balls for extra bases as evidenced by his double and triple in game play. He provides a good target at first base and has good hands and an accurate arm when starting the double play. Mason pitched very well showing a fastball that he controlled well and ran up to 63 mph. He also landed a good 12 to 6 curve and threw both pitches for strikes. We like his repeatable delivery and his ability to stay in the strike zone with all of his offerings. It will be fun to see this good team player continue to develop.
