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.
One of the classes' best in-game hitters - Gates' game cannot fully be measured within a showcase setting, however he was able to post solid metrics across the board. Athletic at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, with offseason strength gains noticeable, Gates put together a solid round of batting practice with a controlled leg kick, line drive approach, and a quick left-handed stroked. Reaching a peak exit velocity of 95.3 mph, Gates turns the barrel on an ideal path to optimize hard contact to the big part of the field. A 6.94 runner - the Indiana recruit posted one of the top outfield arms of the weekend, reaching 93 mph.
Position Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds. Uber-athletic build
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup, strong lower half. Knee-to-knee leg kick sets back hip up to fire. Loose hands turn the barrel with whip. One of the top hitters at the event.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 86.6 mph. 290' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-90 mph. Long, loose, and quick arm from an OTT slot - ball carries
Defense: Athletic feet, soft hands, clean & quick exchange
Run: 6.95 runner in the 60.
Cal Gates, Bedford North Lawrence, 2025, IN
Position: OF/LHP
Body: 5-foot-10, 170-pound athletic frame.
Hit: (LHH) Advanced. Began in an athletic stance with a smooth load, then used a controlled stride. Quick efficient bat speed. Balanced good extension on his finish, loose level swing. Gap to gap approach.
Power: 91.9 mph exit velocity, average 89.2 mph.
Defense: (OF) Soft hands, fluid aggressive footwork, twitchy exchange. Advanced.
Arm: 89 mph outfield velocity. Quick arm action, an-over-the-top slot.
Speed: 6.95 (60-yard).
