Durant is a junior middle infielder from Iowa with a slender, young body. He’s one of the slicker defensive middle infielders we’ve seen in Iowa in recent years. Durant’s actions are smooth and quick and he has very good range, especially up the middle from shortstop. His hands can play anywhere. Durant’s throwing mechanics are solid, but arm strength is his weakest defensive tool and might move him to second base at the college level. He still has time to further develop this part of his game. You can see Durant’s quickness in the difference in his 60 and home to first times. He ran the 60 in 7.03, but was 4.20 from the right side to first. Usually that 60 time equates to about a 6.7 60. Offensively, Durant hits with quiet hands and good balance through the ball. He generates good bat speed for his size and relative strength and showed a good ability to make solid contact and hit the ball to all fields. Durant finishes high and extended on his swing, which might equate to some power in the future. Durant is a strong student who should have plenty of opportunities to play college baseball.

Durant is a 5-11 middle infielder from Iowa with good all around athletic ability and baseball skills. Durant showed good straight away speed in running a 6.90 60. During infield drills, Durant showed good soft hands with quick transfers and positioned himself well on ground balls. He showed raw arm strength that would improve with better direction moving towards his target on throws. At the plate, Durant hit out of an open stance with a rock back load and good bat speed through the hitting zone. Durant tends to raise up during his swing which makes his hands loop under the ball frequently and he’s too fast to hit the ball in the air too often. It should be a fairly simple adjustment for him to make. Durant is the type of athlete who is going to keep improving and getting stronger as he gets older. He is also a very good student.
