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.
Positional Profile: OF/3B
Body: 5-9, 160-pounds.
Hit: SH. From the left side, shows a narrow stance with a tall posture and decent rhythm and timing pre pitch. Uses minimal lower half in the move forward and tends to stay tall throughout the swing. Despite limited lower half engagement, balance in the box is generally good. From the right side, the stance and posture remain similar, but the overall move is quicker and more decisive. From the left side, the bat path works flat to slightly uphill, though there are times where he will chop down on the ball, leading to swing and miss. Coming up onto the toes during the swing limits adjustability and barrel consistency. From the right side, the swing shape and intent remain similar, but the quicker move allows the barrel to get on plane more efficiently. Improving lower half engagement and reducing vertical movement would help both sides play more consistently and cut down swing and miss. 61.6 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 75.4 mph. 276' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-64 mph. Longer arm action with minimal carry on throws. Exchange and release are slower, but he continues to move through the target, helping maintain accuracy and playable throws.
Defense: Works aggressively to the ball and keeps momentum moving through the catch and into the throw. Stays under control overall, though the longer exchange can slow the completion of the play.
ATH: 7.86 runner in the 60. 1.82 and 4.33 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 21.80 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 80.13 Edge Score
