2023 SS TJ Pompey gets his spring going with a HR to left-center. The toolsy SS also had a lineout tonight. He is one of the better defenders in this class.

Middle Infield: TJ Pompey, Coppell HS (Coppell, Texas) 

Pompey is a long and lean 6-foot-4, 185 pounds with plenty of quick-twitch athleticism and a really good glove. He made some ridiculously difficult plays look routine over the summer and his excellent first-step quickness and range give him huge defensive upside.

Leading this year’s draft talent is SS TJ Pompey (Coppell HS, TX). The long-limbed, wiry athlete has added substantial strength to a 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame, and it has helped boost the outputs in all phases. A consummate defender with silky smooth actions that allow him to glide around the infield, the Texas Tech recruit is in an elite category with regards to that tool, and looked the part of top 5 defensive shortstop in the class in this look. Everything comes easy to him on the infield with soft hands and advanced glove-to-hand capabilities, and his long strides provide easy coverage side-to-side with eye-opening instincts. That all is combined with a plus-arm that flicked accurate throws up to 93 mph across the diamond during workouts to present the look of a prospect that can stick at the position long term. Pompey made the play of the event, ranging deep in the hole before sliding and picking with the back hand, and popping to his feet to deliver a strike to first base for an out. A 6.5-runner, Pompey checks all the athleticism boxes and is equipped with a low-pulse that allows him to slow the game down. The bat is what will likely decide his ceiling with regards to the draft. There have been some inconsistencies in the past, but the State Games saw Pompey take a big step forward. Posting exit velocities up to 102.5 mph during workouts along with bat and hand speeds (per Blast Motion) that stood out as elite. The added physicality has paired well with Pompey’s natural athleticism, and he worked rhythmically in producing a mature round of batting practice that provided a glimpse at future power production. The right-handed hitter gets exceptional rotational acceleration, creating quickness in a short window while looking to do damage in the air, especially to the pull side. The workout showing carried over to game play where the big shortstop blasted a triple off the left field wall. In closing, the uptick that the bat showed is sure to bring plenty of attention for Pompey in the spring as the strong likelihood of him sticking at shortstop long term places premium value on his prospect status.

#8 T.J. Pompey - SS - Coppell - Texas Tech Commit 

The athletic SS from Coppell is one of the best defenders in the state regardless of position.  He is an easy  mover on the dirt showing elite lateral quickness and range.  He has more than enough arm to make any throw from short, topping out at 93 this spring on the mound.  Pompey made some adjustments in the swing, and really started to get into his power more this summer. His frame still has some big   He ended the summer with a very good performance in San Diego at the Area Code Games.

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...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...
