GA Preseason All State
one of the most advanced bats in the class continues to go under the radar due to lack of physicality, but I promise you this is a D1 bat. This is a player who has one of the best swings, approach, and some of the best pitch recognition in the state. It’s wild how a guy like that can stay so under the radar considering pitch recognition is one of the biggest keys of hitting and you can’t hit consistently at the games highest levels without it. Uggla’s ability to work himself into advantageous counts and hit the ball where it’s pitched are on another level, and few in the class are able to decelerate to get on time with breaking balls like him. He might not be the most noticeable prospect now, but if you dig a little deeper this guy has a better chance at being a complete hitter in college than a majority of his class. 90 EV, 81 INF, 7.3 60 (1.75 10 yd).

Hit: RHH. Medium base just outside shoulders. knees inside feet. Slow, repeatable waggle in bat just off ear. Hips rock back, picking up the foot for him.

Manipulates barrel on north/south pitch location as well as east/west.
