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.
Positional Profile: C/1B
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Simple operation. Wide base, stands tall, small toe lift trigger. The top half generates the power, hands cock back, working a direct, slightly uphill path. Developing feel for the barrel. 63.3 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 80.5 mph. 299' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-71 mph. Clean, half-circle AA, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.18-2.28 pop times. One-knee stance. Quick out of the crouch, short and in line with 2B. Developing glove-to-hand transfers.
