2022 13U/14U Fall Gulf Coast Showcase
Mason Baynes is a 2027 C/RHP/3B with a 5-9 142 lb. frame from Birmingham, AL who attends Mountain Brook. Medium athletic build with some strength for his age. 7.61 runner in the sixty. Primary catcher on defense, has good lower half flexibility and sets up low, repeats his release well and makes accurate throws, gets rid of the ball cleanly with developing footwork, still working on his receiving skills on balls outside the strike zone. Also plays the infield and showed good athleticism there, moves to the ball well and has a quick release similar to behind the plate, arm plays well in the infield. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide base with a good shift into contact, swings hard and uses his hands well, accurate swings with consistent barrel contact, works mostly middle away but hits behind the ball well and gets some carry, nice swing to build on as he gets stronger. Took a turn on the mound, works from the stretch with a leg lift coil over the rubber, changes his arm slot frequently, was up to 70 mph with a 57 mph curveball from higher slots, more low 60's/low 50's from the sub-sidearm slots. Nice young player with a good balance of offensive and defensive tools.
