Physical Description: Slender, sprinter/cyclist build. Lower body springy, bouncy and powerful in strides. Upper body lithe, room to build significant muscle mass in chest, shoulders, arms. Longer-legged. Fluid in movements. Core strength, power into movements belies frame size. Longer fingers, average hand size. Explosive calves. Excelled in multiple sports. Father was an Olympic track athlete and sister competed in track on international level.
Hit: Stance is bent back in a coiled position. Front leg is planted on an angle as it prepares for a short stride. Back leg bent as power to swing is provided off a tight, compact hip thrust. Back elbow pointed at the umpire's mask as bat rests above the shoulder by an inch or two, the swing motion is efficient after a bit of a backswing to put it into motion. Length/angle built much more for line drives than loft. Hands/wrists control bat in a natural, field covering opposite field stroke. Contact ability and eyes are adequate. Grade: 40
Power: Tracks fly balls well. Seeing ball off bat, first step timing present an interesting outfield specimen. Speed to get to any ball regardless of positioning. Strides near perfect to get to landing spot. Feel for warning track, long flies while backtracking seems veteran. Can jump, slide, dive. Solid job of converting natural athleticism to the field. Shaving off minimal wasted motion could show an advanced, rhythmic CF with range. Grade: 30
Field: Tracks fly balls well. Seeing ball off bat, first step timing present an interesting outfield specimen. Speed to get to any ball regardless of positioning. Strides near perfect to get to landing spot. Feel for warning track, long flies while backtracking seems veteran. Can jump, slide, dive. Solid job of converting natural athleticism to the field. Shaving off minimal wasted motion could show an advanced, rhythmic CF with range. Grade: 55
Arm: Better than expected. Accurate. Steam to hit targets from warning track in air/one bounce and have glove sound indicate sizzle. Puts legs and lower body behind the motion and gets all of body into release. Throws with effort. Grade: 50
Run: Impact tool; impressive double-plus speed. Quick out of the box into sprinting position. Gets up to a high top speed in a stride and a half. His speed is more of a weapon than an asset. Ideal for an extra inning, runner on 2nd situation. Grade: 70
Overall: Rare, athletic combo of unique skills and bloodlines present an elite level mover between the lines. Janvrin could not be thrown out or even kept in check by GCL backstops in year one. He will likely never develop into consistent power; and hit tool projection will be tested as he climbs the ladder. He'll have to prove he can hit at every stop, but his sound defense and game changing speed are enough tools to keep him a shot to exceed a future that's likely capped in the upper minors.
