Personal Statement

I am Austin Oliver, a Sophomore from Elkton Maryland with high goals for my Academic and Baseball career. I am a results driven individual that consistently looks at the metrics to understand what is going well, and needs more work. Just as I look at getting A's in the classroom, I look at getting great hits, throwing out other players, and pitching few as many pitches per inning. I am looking for a University that offers a program in which I want to study, but also has a great baseball program.

Austin continues to progress and impress on the diamond. He is a true gamer who leaves it all on the field. As a hitter, this strong righty stands in with a purpose. He hunts FB's and looks to jumps on the first good pitch he sees. Hands are quick as he fires the barrel through the zone with the ball exploding off of his bat (exit velocity = 87 mph). Pitchers don't want to miss inside as Austin will get his hands through and pull the ball with power. He has great zone awareness proven by drawing 3 walks at the event. Defensively, Oliver wants the ball hit to him. He works around the GB, funnels smoothly and gains ground towards his target at 1B. Transfer is clean with throws that are on a line. He is versatile and has the ability to play anywhere on the infield. Austin also has the ability to get on the mound and throw strikes. Arm action is quick with a FB at 82 mph. CB has 11/5 shape with tight spin and sharp break. This 2020 grad has the skill-set that will make an impact in a variety of ways when he steps onto the diamond.

Austin is a very talented prospect who makes things happen when he steps onto the field. At 3B, he is a smooth / fluid fielder with hands / feet working well together through the fielding process as he plays through balls well. Glove action is soft / sure as he presents well out front. Throws are accurate with life as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Offensively, he steps into the box looking to swing it. He swings on a short / direct swing path with plus bat speed. Hands work inside the ball and he uses his lower half helping to generate torque and create pop off of the barrel. At the event, he was 4 for 7 with a 2 2B and 3B. Austin is a gamer and has the makings of a special type player.

National Try Out Plus Baseball Factory
Austin is a thin, athletic shortstop prospect. He has natural hitting instincts with smooth rhythm at the plate. His setup is square and he stays connected between his hips and hands with an activated load and stride. He makes solid contact with good barrel accuracy and sprays hits to all fields. At short, Austin is a smooth fielder, playing through the ball from the right. His feet are active and he fields the ball square, with a clean exchange and momentum to his target. A long toss program will increase arm strength and allow him to stay on the left side. Austin is a very exciting prospect and we expect him to be a big prospect for the next level.
Camp/Event
Baseball Factory All-America Pre-Season Rookie Tournament
Austin is a young, 2020 SS prospect from Elkton, Maryland. As a SS, Austin has active pre-pitch movement and creates good angles to the ball. He gets into a square position and presents his hands out front to field the ball. He has a clean exchange and gets good carry on his throws across the diamond. As a hitter, Austin shows an athletic setup with a strong/solid base. He takes an aggressive hack with bat speed and connects with pop. He hits the ball where it's pitched and sprays the ball to all parts of the field. Oliver also showed his versatility by getting on the mound. He has sound mechanics and repeats well, pounding the zone with strikes. Austin has tremendous upside with a bright future ahead of him in the game.
