Ashton Birmingham is a 2022 MIF/RHP, OF with a 5-9 145 lb. frame from Opelika, AL who attends Chambers Academy. Medium frame with a lean, young build showing some room to fill out physically in the future. Ran a 7.50 second sixty yard dash. Primary Middle Infielder, showing a quick first step as he proved to have some lateral range. Confident in the glove as he scooped it up and worked into a quick transfer. Accurate across the diamond as he threw it 73 mph during drills. Secondary Right-Handed Pitcher, working with a clean operation as he filled up the zone. Longer arm action and delivered from a higher three-quarter slot. Whip to the arm as he released out front. Fastball up to 77 mph and spun the breaking ball well. Flashed 11-to-5 break and proved he could get guys to swing and miss. Secondary Outfielder, showing good reads off the bat as he worked aggressively into the baseball. Clean gather to the side and then carries weight well into release. Accurate to the bag as he threw it 76 mph. Fundamentally sound and shows instincts in the outfield. Right-Handed Hitter, starting balanced with a closed off front side. Hands get deep upon separation before he works into a linear swing path. Found barrels as he looked to drive it back up the middle. Proved he could impact the baseball to the pull-side when he got extended. Good Student.
