2021 Spring Atlantic Coast Showcase
Clay Whitaker is a 2023 OF/MIF with a 5-8 155 lb. frame from Dobson, NC who attends Surry Central. Posted a 7.39 in the 60 yard dash. Primary outfielder, showed limited momentum through the ball and chopped actions. Stops feet to field, two-handed gathers with a middle funnel. Pretty good carry on the throw with a compact arm action. Could unlock some looseness in the lower half and fluidity in the arm action to compete at a higher level. In the infield, shows good feel for the change in field awareness. Quick first step off contact with a good glove. Glove stab at the back hand play will fix itself with increased range down the road. Short arm throws looked good and were accurate, plenty of arm strength to build will compliment his tools. Right handed hitter, open start with a high hand set and leg lift trigger. Soft base to swing out of, generates a down barrel path. Sprayed decent contact around to all field. Falls over from high effort upper half. Some tightening up the mechanics and adding to the strength gaps will advance his swing in leaps. Great student.
