12/19/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Zachary continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.58 runner. Feet are active as he works to square balls up, displaying clean hands. He needs to attack balls more, play through, and present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate, flashing carry but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a solid setup with balance. Swing path is level but needs to work to stay inside the ball to utilize all fields and improve hitting grade. Power numbers will continue to increase as he learns to use his lower half more. On the mound, fastball showed solid arm side run with a 10/4 breaking ball with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained. Mental makeup is a plus as he loves the game and plays hard.
