01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Simon participated in the UA Preseason All-America as both a C and RHP, and currently projects better behind the dish. He is a tall, lean, athlete who can be a 2 position player at the next level. Behind the plate, Simon closes on the ball well, moves well laterally, and has a quick exchange. Simon gets on top of the baseball and his throws have life and carry on them. Looser actions and centering the ball better on his chest should help defensive grades further improve. On the mound, Simon has a pitchers build, he works quickly, and has a short arm action. His FB touches the mid 80's, and his CB has good, late break. A more firm backside, looser arm action, and landing more closed should help Simon improve on the hill. Offensively, Simon has good balance, bat speed, and his swing is in rhythm. He has life in has barrel and can hit the ball to all fields. A quieter front foot, and stronger wrists could help Simon's offensive numbers get better.
