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: 1B/OF
Body: 6-1, 176-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Slightly closed stance with higher hands that load down into a lower launch position just below the shoulder. Not the most fluid mover, but there is strength in the bat. Swing shows better in a controlled environment and could translate more with improved timing and rhythm. 67.1 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 84.0 mph. 338' max distance.
Arm: RH. Uses a short arm action with a noticeable hitch in the delivery. Throws show minimal carry and the arm plays best on simple feeds. Slower overall tempo limits effectiveness on plays that require quick release.
Defense: Footwork can look clunky at times, though he is able to work into a decent fielding position. Feet will stop through the process, which slows transitions. Overall movement is on the slower side and limits range around the bag.
ATH: 8.10 runner in the 60. 2.05 and 4.56 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Vizual Edge: 68.55 Edge Score
