Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

• Charlotte's speed metrics show room for improvement, with rankings in the lower half of participants for most speed-related tests.
• Her 5-10-5 shuttle time (Rank 44) indicates better relative agility compared to straight-line speed.

Hitting

• Exit velocity and bat speed are areas for potential improvement, ranking in the bottom half of participants.
• The vertical bat angle of 41 degrees suggests a slightly upward swing path.

Arm Strength

• Throwing velocity ranks in the lower quartile, indicating an area for focused development.

Pitching

• Charlotte shows strong potential as a pitcher, with impressive rankings across all pitches.
• Fastball and curve velocities are consistent at 60mph, both ranking 13th among participants.
• Her change-up shows excellent deception, with a 11mph difference from her fastball.
• Spin rates are particularly impressive, with her curve, change-up, and rise ball all ranking in the top 17 or better.

Overall Assessment

Charlotte Morgan demonstrates significant potential as a right-handed pitcher. Her pitching metrics are standout, with consistent velocities across different pitch types and impressive spin rates, particularly on her off-speed pitches. This suggests good pitch movement and deception. Her change-up, with its high spin rate and significant velocity difference from her fastball, could be a particularly effective weapon.

Areas for improvement include overall speed and agility, as well as hitting metrics. Enhancing these aspects could increase her versatility as a two-way player. Her arm strength for throwing (as opposed to pitching) also shows room for development.

Given her current skill set, Charlotte's primary focus should be on further developing her pitching abilities while working to improve her speed and hitting to round out her game. As an uncommitted 2025 graduate, she has time to enhance these
