Event: South Bay Preseason ID
Positional Profile: 1B
Physical: 6-3, 195-pounds; 8.02 60-yard; Burly build with some lean visible muscularity on broad frame.
Offensively: RH. EV max – 90.1 mph, hand speed max – 22.4 mph, bat speed max – 70.5 mph; Deep in box with wide open left foot to start, hands held high above shoulder, fairly smooth knee lift inward before separating out to modest stride, small load as he lays barrel back a bit, short to ball with knob leading, efficiently into the zone, stayed above ball well, quite a short stroke with ability to generate power and consistently hard EV numbers, tends to drop head a bit on way to contact which can affect the eyes, uses core and body well at contact to create leverage, some energy leaks out of stride foot as it rolls outside during two hand swing finish. There is some power in the swing and enough efficiency to get to it.
Defensively: 1B – 68 mph; Closed on ball well, got ball out quickly though can be more accurate, played with urgency, getting head around before arm comes through can be a key for the accuracy, hands displayed adequate softness, centered ball on his body well, showed ability to get feet set up to throw while receiving the ball, squares to his infielder well, raked low through ball in dirt well, feet were clean while working the bag.
Body: 6-3, 205-pounds. Big 2024 at 6-foot-3 200 pounds, moves fairly well, heavy feet slow him down, potential to become quite the athlete senior year.
Hit: RHH. Slightly-open shoulder width base, quick and firm keg kick load to hitting position, active bat path with present speed, two-hand finish. Blast motion scores of 55-54-60. Graded out well for size and class, consistent bat path coupled with bat speed help explain the high scores. Projectable swing with consistency and numbers that support current swing give Overholser a high ceiling moving forward.
Power: 88.00 max exit velocity. 306 ft - 88 mph EV - 19.6 launch angle
Arm: RH. INF - 63.00 mph. Arm keeps him at first, short arm swing from a low angle, accurate throws.
Defense: Looked comfortable at first, size - reach - low fielding positioning give him a good zone of defense. Showed that he can turn 2 effectively and move his feet to make up for arm. Showed that he can athletically bend at the waist to field and pick.
Run: 8.18 runner in the 60.
