The Soph. middle of the diamond defender out of the Inland Empire traveled out into Orange County and put together a strong showing for himself in front of our staff. Shim is more compact in his build at 5'9 160 lbs. with a RH hitting profile and solid present athleticism for his age. He posted a 7.3 60 yard sprint time with 78 MPH INF velocity that for now give him a comfortable long term future at 2B, but one can expect those numbers to improve as he continues to mature/add more strength to his frame in the coming years. Where Shim shined brightest on the day was during his offensive workout with an impressive RH swing. Shim posted strong metrics across the board with Blast Motion including an intriguing ability to generate torque in his swing with 24.2 Gs of rotational acceleration while showing fast hands at 23.3 MPH with solid present bat speed at 71.2 MPH. The quality of his swing is backed up by a strong feel for his approach/timing to produce an 89 MPH average exit velocity while peaking at 96.4 MPH on his max exit velocity with a 332' max distance as Shim used the middle of the field predominantly from a flatter stroke. He had a 46% hard hit rate for the day that should profile to increase as he continues to mature. Still young with plenty of time for him to continue getting better the foundation for Shim is strong and projects a bright future for this Inland Empire product.
