Joseph Nystrom, Denmark (GA), 2028
Positional Profile: SS/2B
Body: 5-8, 162-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Open stance, shoulder width setup. Hands extended out, away, and low. Hand load with leg lift. Violent swing through the zone. 68.1 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 102 max exit velocity, averaged 93.7 mph. 350' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. Higher 3/4 angle arm slot. Strong and accurate throws.
Defense: Solid feet and smoother hands.

Vizual Edge: 71.59 Edge Score
Uncommitted. What a weekend it was for the freshman at the plate. Went 9-for-14 with 5 singles/ 3 doubles/ 1 triple/ 6 RBI’s. An athletic 5-foot-8, 150-pound frame with already sneaky strength to project on. The LHH possesses a quiet confidence at the plate and displays a well-connected stroke with fluidity through the zone and innate bat-to-ball to match. Delivers a whippy barrel through the zone with a tremendous feel for the barrel in an all-fields approach.. Showcases one of the smoothest strokes in the class with loud signs of a present budding hit-tool. Versatile defender that can move around the infield and play any position at a high-level. Name to know.
