Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Physical: 5-9, 155 pounds; Athletic, slight build. 7.25 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Loads straight back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a compact swing path with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 89 MPH via Trackman. Showed rhythm and extension through the swing.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while being aggressive. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 82 MPH.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders outside the hips. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly open. Moderate arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; low 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 77-80 MPH; arm side run. CB: 67-70 MPH; late action. CH: 70 MPH; fading action.
Physical: Muscular, athletic 5-foot-7, 140lb frame with RTF. 7.44 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Spread, balanced attack, as the hands waved with simple rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a knee-knock stride to initiate the swing through a flat path towards an on-plane finish. An adjustable barrel worked around the plate with hard, line-drive contact from gap-to-gap. Posted a T81 mph exit velocity and landed amongst the sweet spot leaders (75%).
Defensively: The middle infielder displayed a hop in the prep-step with lateral range early in the route. Fielded softly out in front and shuffled twice towards the target for a 73 mph arm-strength across the dirt (H ¾). Made the play on the run accurately as well.
Pitching: RHP. Compact, up-tempo pace off the far left side of the mound; rode the rear-hip hinge with solid weight-transfer into the lead leg. Held 71-73 mph with some command of the zone. Added a two-plane low-60’s CB that will have a chance at 2361 rpms.
