2024 National Uncommitted Showcase (2025 Grads)
James Bacon is a 2025 SS/RHP/3B with a 6-2 208 lb. frame from Newhall, CA who attends Hart. Big and strong athletic build. Left handed hitter, hits from an open stance with a high hand load, direct swing path, gets downhill into contact, has some strength at contact and squared up the ball hard in the games, showed some pop to the opposite field gap. 7.84 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense with third base tools and skills, has a long arm action from a high release point and creates some carry, will have to continue to work on his lower half quickness and footwork on defense. Took a turn on the mound, worked from a full wind up with a full arm path in back. Fastball sat in the mid-80's and topped out at 86 mph, gets good riding action up in the zone. Slider has good spin and flashed some depth, still developing feel for locating the pitch, also threw a firm change up. Very good student.
