EVOLUTION TRAINING ASSESSMENTS - OFFICIAL SCOUTING REPORT
Player: Mason Nye
Age: 12U
Position: SS / UTIL
Date: 9/18/26
Location: Evolution Lab
Session Type: New Client Assessment - Hitting
OVERVIEW - NEW CLIENT ALERT
We had a new client, Mason Nye, 12-year-old player with a LOT of ability. Shortstop skill sets, extremely athletic mover. Really, really fun first session to work with this kid. I think he's got unbelievable potential and he's really a guy that I want to push and help him tap into everything that he has that he can do with his body. Overall, really consistent across the board.
HITTING REPORT
MECHANICS BREAKDOWN
Movement Quality: Moves extremely well. Athletic, clean sequence for not a lot of outside training.
Barrel Control / Finish: Stays palm up, palm down through finish. That is advanced. Shows very, very good skill sets and very good fundamentals for his age.
Consistency: Really consistent across the board off tee and front toss.
RESULTS / DATA
Exit Velocity: 59 mph consistently off the tee and front toss
Contact Quality: Consistent barrels, effective swing, inside-out path when needed
59 mph consistently at 12U with palm up / palm down finish and minimal prior training = high-ceiling hitter.
CORRECTION POINT - ONE THING TO CLEAN
Back Knee Sink: Sinks a little bit in his back knee which takes away from some of his extension with his hips. It makes him inside-out the ball a little bit.
When he sinks, he loses hip extension and gets stuck inside it. Fix the sink, we unlock full hip extension and even more power to pull side.
Outside of that, just really effective swing.
INTANGIBLES - ELITE MAKEUP
Extremely talkative — asks questions
Wants to grow, wants to learn the game of baseball at a high level
Coachable, high energy, wants to be pushed
This is the separator. Tools are there, but the mindset is what gives him unbelievable potential.
NEXT STEPS
Back Leg Strength / Posture: Keep tall in back knee — don't sink. Feel hip extension through contact vs. dropping.
Hip Extension Drill Work: Load and extend, finish tall through hips to get full pull-side power
Keep Palm Up / Palm Down: Maintain elite barrel control we already have
COACH'S FINAL NOTE
Great job, Mason. Very good fundamentals, really like where he's at for not a lot of training right now. Shortstop skill sets offensively today were 59 mph consistently, moves extremely well. Can't wait to see you next session — we're going to tap into everything your body can do.
