08/13/2013 - College PREP - Elgin (Chicago), IL Payton is a solid RHP with a lot of potential both in the circle and at the plate. As a RHP, Payton features a quick arm swing with forward hand position, a narrow stance and is kinda choppy through her delivery. She keeps her shoulders square, can change speeds and should continue to work on improving her direction to the plate to have a more in line/complete finish. She has good mound presence, can field her position and will benefit from using more leg drive to relieve some of the strain being placed on her shoulder. At the plate, Payton uses an open stance with a downward load, a short stride and launches aggressively to the ball. She produces solid contact to the pull side, stays throught the ball well and will see offensive numbers improve as she sees the ball deeper into the zone to improve point of contact. Overall, Payton is an exciting young player and should continue to seek quality reps and instruction to ensure her development continues in a steady manner.
