INF Matthew Hara (Libertyville, 2027) stood out with his loud round of BP over the weekend. At the plate, the 5-foot-10, 174-pound right-handed hitter has some lean strength in his frame, and he was able to create a max EV of 95 mph while averaging 90 mph throughout. It's a simple swing that stays direct to the baseball with strong hands, looking to stay on top of the baseball - averaging 73 mph for his bat-speed and 16.8 Gs for his rotational acceleration. Hara also impressed defensively by showing range up the middle, paired with a clean double play turn and a steady two-hand gather out front.
Positional Profile: 3B/C
Body: 5-8, 165 pounds. Compact frame.
Hit: RHH. Tall, slightly open setup, small leg lift with long stride. Strong hands, simple and direct to the baseball, works on top of the ball. 73 mph bat speed with 17g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 mph max exit velocity (90.1 avg.).
Arm: RH. INF - 81 mph. Short, compact arm action, ¾ slot.
Defense: Plays through the ball, two-hand gather into body, has some range up the middle, clean double play turn.
Athletic Testing: 7.37 runner in the 60-yard dash; 21.90-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 67.76 Edge Score.
C/3B Matthew Hara is another 2027 from Libertyville who deserves a mention from the event. The 5-foot-8, 165-pound, right-handed has an easy operation at the plate with loose hands, feel for the barrel and whole field approach.
