07/14/2008 - College PREP - Cedar Hill (DFW), TX Payton is a 2B with a strong looking body. Foot speed is average and he needs to improve to play in the middle of the infield at the next level. Feet are aggressive and active in coming to get the baseball. Glove action is late and deep allowing the baseball to get deep in on the body, dictating play. He shows a solid arm action but needs to get on a strict long toss program to further aid in development of more arm strength. At the plate, Roberts shows solid average ability and power. Swing path is long but shows a feel for the barrel to the pull side. Power is limited to the pull side due to long swing path. Payton has potential with a lot of room to improve.
