Caden Higginbotham: 3B/1B, (2028) Randall K. Cooper High School, KY. 6-foot, 142-pound long build. (59.8 mph bat speed average). (16.1 mph hand speed average). Starts in an open stance with a compact load, then uses a toe tap stride. Bat speed was quick efficient, used a short uphill swing plane and balanced finish. He barreled up some balls with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Advanced in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 62 mph; had rhythmic in control footwork, a clean exchange, and consistent hands. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Some accuracy to the bases, used athletic slot and a loose arm action. Recorded a time of 7.73 in the 60-yard dash. (Max spin ; Avg ).
