Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
C Lucas Beaty (Normal Community, 2027) impressed our staff this spring for the 3rd Place finishing Ironmen, and continued to look the part at our event this past week. He’s a multi-sport athlete that plays QB in the fall, standing at 5-foot-11, 183-pounds with strength and athleticism throughout. Beaty took one of the more impressive rounds of catcher defense, showing a quick and easy transfer with throws that played on the bag. His best bullet down to second was 79 mph, and his pop time range was 1.93-2.04, the best of the event. Up the middle he showed athletic actions and a confident glove with a quality arm across the diamond (84 mph). A right-handed hitter, Beaty worked direct to the ball and produced a max exit velocity of 94 mph and a max batted distance of 368 feet. Beaty is an uncommitted name to know heading into August 1st.
Positional Profile: C/SS
Body: 5-11, 183 pounds.
Hit: RHH. Athletic, wider setup, high leg lift into stride. Twitchy, aggressive and in control swing, mostly flat path through the zone, pull-side/middle approach. 68.4 mph bat speed with 5g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 mph max exit velocity (84.8 avg.); 368-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. C - 79.00 mph. INF - 84.00 mph. Short, clean arm action, high 3/4 slot in the infield.
Defense: 1.93-2.04 pop time range; Steady defender on the infield, plays through the baseball, gains ground through release.
Athletic Testing: 7.41 runner in the 60-yard dash; 27.70-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 60.91 Edge Score.
Uncommitted, stands in an athletic 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame with strength. Played third base and batted in the nine hole. Continues to look the part defensively, moves around well, shows a sure-handed glove with a clean transfer and an arm that plays accurate and strong arm across the diamond. Right-handed hitter, did not tally a hit, but barrelled multiple balls to center field and right field in the game for flyouts. Hands stay short to the ball with an uphill path that looks to do damage at the plate. A name-to-know in the sophomore class.
INF/C Lucas Beaty (Normal Community, 2027) was an incoming sophomore that showed extremely well on the day. The right-handed hitter generated power to his pull-side, staying on the barrel with a max distance of 304’. Clean actions on the infield with sure-handed actions. Steady defender behind the plate, quick out of the chute with a 1.95 pop-time and max velocity of 74 mph.
