Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 6-1, 212-pounds. Physical build with strength throughout.
Hits: LHH. Athletic, slightly open setup. Quiet hands with a controlled leg lift load and short stride to square. Utilizes lower half to drive the ball. Uphill swing plane. Swings with intent and an advanced approach, driving the ball all fields. Gets solid extension at contact with present pull-side power.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 80.6 MPH. 270' max distance. Above-average strength in barrel.
Arm: RH. C-79 mph. INF-85 mph.Short OT arm action. Above average arm speed.
Defense: 1.94-1.96 pop times. Behind the plate, works with fast feet and exchanges. Solid lateral blocking and receiving ability. Accurate throws on a line to 2B. In the INF, soft hands and clean gather. Quick feet, using his momentum through his throws. Ability to throw from multiple arm angles.
Vizual Edge: 74.8 Edge Score
C/INF Brodie Short (Lutheran St. Charles, 2024) was another name that took an eye-popping round of BP from the left side. Short, who stands at 6-foot, 202-pounds, generated easy juice off his left-handed barrel, averaging the day’s furthest batted distance (303 ft.), peaking at 341 feet. Short’s hardest batted ball (96.9 mph) and his average exit velocity (88.1 mph) both finished second amongst all hitters at this event. He showed his physicality in-game by punishing a hanging slider with authority the other way for a standup double. Short’s certainly capable of slotting into the middle of an order at the next level and hitting for impact.
C/INF Brodie Short (Lutheran St. Charles, 2024) showed his inherent bat strength at the Future Games for Team Missouri, making loud contact in-game on multiple occasions. Perhaps his most redeeming offensive quality, however, is Short’s ability to drive the ball to the deepest part of the park from the left side. At this event, the 6-foot-1, 202-pound backstop averaged 305 feet per batted ball, the highest mark from any of our events this summer. Owning this knack for elevation with his raw strength, that includes a 96.9 mph max exit velocity, are two offensive benchmarks coveted at the next level.
Positional ProfileC/3B
Body: 6-0, 202-pounds. Strong sturdy frame, thick lower half.
