Ryder Helfrick, C/INF, Clayton Valley (Calif.)

Current Draft Board Rank: 117

I will be the first to say I’m bullish on Helfrick’s overall skill set. His athleticism and showing with the stick have really stood out. There are big tools at a premium position behind the dish, and he’s only improved his receiving with above-average strength that shows in game. It’s rare to see a catcher move so well with a consistent hit tool and serious jump off the barrel that coils well. There’s moving parts in his load, but it’s simply loud when squared and he seems to hit each look. There’s risk with a prep catcher in a deeper class than previous years. But he’s athletic enough to stick up the middle if catching isn’t a long term fit, and it’s hard to pass on such a versatile athlete with loud tools. Count me in.

Ryder Helfrick ('23, CA) hits this ball 104 mph (400 ft) to deep CF for triple. Strong hands and quick bat speed produces advanced power that plays to the big part of the yard. Arkansas commit

Primary catcher, starts on a knee in drills, arm strength is a weapon behind the plate, gets it out of glove cleanly, longer arm stroke through the backside, plus arm and carry to second, did an excellent job framing and receiving high octane stuff in live action.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

Good job hitting with 2-strikes and not doing too much. Good bat control to the baseball.   https://t.co/3BYlb2gHRU     10-5-22 - Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Part 2 -  https://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=21312&s=03  -   Eli Ramsey , OF/LHP, Millington, Tenn. Class of 2023 | PG Rank: 500 Wow Factor National   Not many in the country have the two-way talent he employs. The lefty bat shows a really high-level ability to find barrels through the middle of the yard; batting a career .405 through 200 at-bats in perfect game events. He sets up with an open stance that works into a hearty load. There’s violence through the zone with definite power projection. He adds plenty of value on the moun...
