07/20/2016 - Factory Development Institute National Select Program Cayla is a 2018 first baseman, outfielder with a strong skill set. Defensively, Cayla has quick feet and hustles on every play. She has a controlled but aggressive approach to the ball and displays soft hands to the ball. Cayla has good arm strength and leads the ball out well to her target. She will also dive or slide and make a catch if the ball happens to be out of her reach. By working more with her momentum and fielding the ball more out in front, Cayla will become more of a smooth and fluid fielder. Offensively, Cayla has a square set up and displays good balance at the plate. She loads and activates her hands well for good separation. Cayla is fluid and launches on time to contact for a smooth swing. She stays loose and extends through the zone well to produce gap to gap power. Cayla has good bat speed and work well with her hips/hands for coordination within her swing. By keeping her head down and working more laterally through the zone, Cayla will produce more line drives on a consistent basis. Overall, Cayla has a great attitude and loves playing the game. She will continue to work on what she has learned to take her game to an even higher level.
