Jarren Purify

Young, projectable, and athletic SS/3B who will have the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Jarren shows an advanced approach with a simple, low maintenance swing. Hits from a slightly open stance with a proper load and a direct path to ball. Accurate barrel with outstanding bat to ball skills and ability to put the barrel on the ball consistently. Shows solid pitch recognition and ability to hit the quality FB. Whole field type approach with fringe-avg present raw power to pull side tho plenty more to come as his body matures and fills out. Bat to ball skills will allow for a high avg type offensive profile while the power will catch up and settle at at least solid avg quality as he matures. A present fringe-avg runner now (7.0 60) with strong, athletic strides. Good first step and future speed projects as at least avg even as he continue speaking to add strength & weight. Has the defensive tools to stick at SS. Live lower half with active feet and moves well in all directions. Good actions with soft, quick hands; ball sticks in his glove. Solid arm strength for his age, arm works properly with a compact arm stroke and ability to backspin the ball with some flashes of online carry, future solid arm that will play on the left side of the infield. Jarren shows projectable tools across the board along with the present ability to translate them to game performance. A lot to like, would give every opportunity to stay at SS although he will have enough bat to profile at 3B if a position change is needed. Athletic, young player with a high ceiling and a lot of future above average tools. High interest player, profiles as a strong Power 5 D1 recruit and should draw MLB draft interest as he approaches eligibility. Stood out on the field despite being one of the younger prospects in this particular showcase.
