AJ Ford, Jesuit (FL), 2028
Positional Profile: 2B/SS
Body: 5-9, 190-pounds. Physical, well-proportioned frame with present strength throughout. Strong build that supports impact at the plate.
Hit: SH. Hits from a slightly open, tall setup. Utilizes a double toe-tap timing mechanism to get synced up before launch. Engages the lower half effectively and expands into a wider base through contact. Works with a short, direct path to the baseball. Flat bat path allows him to stay through the zone and generate consistent backspin off the barrel. Shows strength at contact with an efficient swing that produces impact without excessive effort.
Power: 104 max exit velocity, averaged 91.0 mph. 343' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-79 mph. Shows present arm strength across the infield. Throws come out cleanly with noticeable carry and maintain their line well across the diamond.
Defense: Defensive actions are still developing. Footwork can get choppy at times, particularly when working through ground balls, but he shows an understanding of positioning and body control. Arm strength helps support the profile, and the carry on throws allows him to complete plays effectively.
ATH: 7.31 runner in the 60. 1.66 and 3.96 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 24.70 max vertical.
