Grip Strgth (LH)
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.
2025 Junior Future Games: OF/RHP Paulie Hobbs (Marist, 2029) a physical 6-foot-1, 188-pound prospect that flashed all sorts of strength throughout the event. In the showcase, Hobbs sent his last two balls in BP over the wall in left center with a max distance of 379’ and a max EV of 98 mph (90 mph avg.) The outfielder also threw 85 mph from his respective position. In gameplay, Hobbs continued his success barreling balls left and right, finishing the week with 5-for-10 with a triple to right center, two RBIs, three runs, and three stolen bases. Hobbs also got the ball on the mound in the quarterfinal game against Mississippi and tossed three innings allowing two hits and struck out three. Hobbs’ fastball was 79-81 T83 mph with 17.4 in of avg. IVB, slider was low to mid 70s, and threw a changeup in the mid 70s. Hobbs has strength throughout and uses his physicality to his advantage. A prospect to follow coming out of the event.
A trio of Indiana prospects made the trip over the border and stood out, with INF Andrew Jones (Undecided, 2029), OF/RHP Paulie Hobbs (Hanover Central, 2029) and LHP Townes Cinninger (St. Joseph, 2029) all showing well on the day.
