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.
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.
OF/RHP Nick Konopiots (Downers Grove North, 2025) had one of the best all-around performances at this event last month. Konopiots stands in an athletic 6-foot-1, 170-pound build with projectability. During his round of BP, Konopiots consistently sent line drives to all fields with his short and uphill path from the right side of the plate. He had the quickest hand speed at the event, per Blast, with an average speed of 23.2 mph. An athletic defender in the outfield, he fielded the ball in stride and worked in-line on throws to home, recording a max velocity of 82 mph. His athleticism played on the mound as he showed a clean delivery and arm action. His fastball sat 78-80 mph with mostly straight actions. His curveball showed 11/5 action and sat 61-64 mph. Rounding out his three-pitch mix, Konopiots threw a change-up with downward and fading action.
