New England Insider: Uncommitted Underclass Spotlight - Jordan Laske
Name: Jordan Laske
Position: Catcher
School: Wethersfield HS
Summer Ball: CT Capitals
Class: 2017
Ranked: 148th in New England's 2017 class
Scouting Report: 5-foot-11, 185-pound average athletic frame, hands and lower half are strong and a good durable catchers body. A right-handed hitting catcher, the stance is slightly open, gets back to even on contact and is balanced throughout the swing. The hands are loose and are set just off his shoulders. For timing has a controlled stride, hands get back into a good hitting position, swing path is level and he finishes with one hand. The tee exit velocity was 91, shows plus bat speed with whip out front. The finish could be higher. Behind the plate the setup is quiet, balanced and relaxed. The hands and feet work together and his transfer is clean. Clocked at 77, the arm action is short and comes out at high-¾ slot. Showed good presence, worked well with pitchers and he really likes the to catch.
Outlook:
