10/25/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Broussard, LA Si had an impressive showing at the All-Ripken games in Broussard, LA as a member of Team Guardians, showcasing both his athleticism and versatility across multiple positions. Metrics and Athleticism: Si stood out in his metric testing, particularly in the 5-10-5 agility drill, where his ability to change directions quickly was evident. This is a key indicator of his agility and quickness on the field, allowing him to react quickly to the ball and cover ground effectively. Additionally, his strong 2B-to-home time highlights his speed and base-running potential, showing that he can be a threat on the bases. His athletic profile suggests he has the tools to continue developing into a strong all-around player. Defensively, Si demonstrated solid range and lateral movement at his position. His ability to move laterally and get to balls with efficiency, combined with his accurate arm, makes him a reliable defensive asset. Whether playing in the infield or other positions, Si’s range and arm strength give him the versatility to contribute effectively across the diamond. Continued work on his footwork and quickness will help him improve even further and allow him to cover more ground as his defensive game continues to evolve. Offensively, Si showed good bat-to-ball skills, consistently making contact and putting the ball in play. However, one area for improvement in his swing mechanics is his tendency to take one hand off the bat as he finishes his swing. This can lead to a loss of power through the end of the swing, making it more difficult to drive the ball consistently. Focusing on keeping both hands on the bat through the entire swing will help Si generate more power and control, leading to more solid contact and potential for extra-base hits.6
