Trent Melton is a 2023 RHP/IF, OF with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Grain Valley, MO who attends Grain Valley. Average size athletic frame. Ran a 7.00 60-yard dash. A primary right-handed pitcher with repeatable athletic movements in his delivery and a high three-quarter arm slot with some extension out front. Fastball comes in on a downhill plane with some arm side run in the low 70's. His breaking ball is a curve that he is developing a feel to spin and shows 11-5 shape at its best. Change up is in the upper 60's with some late drop. Above average strike throwing ability with the fastball. In the infield shows average fundamental footwork, average hands fielding the ball cleanly, slower transfer to throw but with an average arm and some accuracy. Second base type defensive actions. Hit from a narrow base with leg kick timing at the plate, drops hands and swings uphill some, swing has some length but with enough strength to impact the baseball some to his pull side. Good student.
