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.
Harrington is and has been one of the most prominent names in San Diego, if not the entire country, for years now. It's hard to poke holes in his profile; he moves very well on the basepaths and in the field with the arm to back it up. He can hit for power and average while having the instincts and competitive traits to thrive under any spotlight. Harrington stood out in both the workout and in-game. In BP he sprayed balls all over the field with hard line drives and HRs, his average EV was 94.7, with a peak of 100. In-game, Harrington worked competitive at-bats all day, walking away with a walk, a double, and a single with 94 EV into LF.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-0, 177.7 pounds.
Hit: RHH. Tall upright setup, starts on his toe and works into a long stride. Works downhill through the zone, throws his hands at the ball and looks to work the other way. 76.3 mph bat speed with 18g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 100 mph max exit velocity (94.7 avg.); 374-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 87.00 mph. Shorter, compact arm circle, 3/4 slot, showed accurate throws on the bag.
Defense: Athletic with a pre-pitch bounce, attacks the baseball in-stride, steady hands, one-hand gather.
Alex Harrington, Cathedral Catholic (CA), 2026 Stanford
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Harrington is the second ranked player in the country for the class of 2026 for a reason. Pure hitting skills and athleticism paired with near perfect defensive tools.
Body: 6-2, 175-pounds. Tall, lean and athletic build. Has room to add mass.
Hit: RHH. Wide stance with bat at his ear, slightly offset feet. No stride, lead foot goes up onto the toe and lands at contact for timing. Clean through the zone, line drives and hard hit balls consistently.
Arm: RH. Strong and quick release, great accuracy . Comfortable with throws from all angles.
Defense: Strong footwork, good awareness and anticipation. Flexible and dynamic at all times.

Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-2, 160-pounds. Projectable build and frame. Long limbs. High waisted build. Lean athleticism.
Hit: RHH. Taller/narrow set up with feet just outside his shoulders and rhythmic hands. Mild leg lift trigger that loads early. Hands load into a good launch position and creates depth into the hitting zone. Consistent loud impact out front. On-plane bat path. Advanced bat speed. Balanced at finish with good extension through finish. 2 HR in BP. Looks the part of an advanced hitter.
Power: 89 mph max exit velocity
Arm: RH. INF - 85 mph. Advanced arm strength showing the ability to stay at SS. All accurate throws during the workout. Medium path with present arm speed. Ability to throw on the run and manipulate slot.
Defense: Solid overall actions. Good footwork in getting to his spots with present glove skills. Athleticism was easy to see. Some present gather with the lower half to get off strong throws. Quick DP exchanges/turns.
Run: 6.98 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Over the top gather into a side step. High chest knee lift. Works in-line. Slight follow through finish to 1B side. Establishes front side direction early. Creates good stretch. Lower half works well maintaining his backside.
Arm Action: RH. Advanced arm speed. Slight stab that works to a full arm path. Works from the 3/4 slot. Consistent slots on all pitch types.
FB: Present life to it with present 19 inch VB. Gets good extension on it which increases perceived velo.
CB: Developing secondary. Had trouble locating, but when he got out front with it, it showed good depth and break.
SL: Best secondary. Sweeper shape. Good feel in the zone. Early signs of a swing and miss pitch.
CH: Another advanced secondary. Tons of fade to it with 19 inch of HB. Feel for it in the zone as well.
