2024 National Pre-Draft Showcase
James Love is a 2024 3B/MIF with a 6-1 205 lb. frame from Joliet, IL who attends Joliet West. Strong athletic build, especially in his lower half. 6.90 runner in the sixty. Primary third baseman on defense, has very smooth and athletic actions, very balanced footwork, has arm strength when on top of the ball and lowers his slot well on the move, plays confident defensively and has some flair to his game. Right handed hitter, hits from an open stance with a high back elbow start and a deep hand load, gathers over his back side well, big hanging leg trigger that he gets down on time, has quick and direct hands to the ball, creates good bat speed with some lift through the zone, can get long and mis-timed occasionally but it worked well in the games and the ball comes off the barrel hard. Nice overall tools and skills package with a bright future. Good student, signed with Illinois. Named to the National Pre-Draft Showcase Top Prospect List.
