Player Write Up
James Gill is a 6’2’’ 225 lb. 2026 out of Battle Ground WA attending Battle Ground High School. Strong, imposing frame with demonstrated strength. Primary 1B/LHP that flashes good footwork around the bag with a sure glove. Smooth fielding action and has plus arm from the corner.
Left handed hitter with a wide base and high hand set, resulting in a flat bat pre pitch set up. Simple, repeatable load, with timed movement between his hands and stride. Bat gets on plane early and hits with power to all fields. When on time, can lift a ball with power to pull side. Widens stance with 2 strikes and likes to work oppo, still with power. Seen him slap balls to the left side with 90 plus exit velos.
Dominating left handed pitcher. Methodical delivery and really works down the mound over his front side. Heavy strike thrower that likes to come in on the hands. Fastball is best pitch running it up to 88 mph. Mixes in a change and breaking ball to keep hitters guessing.
