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.
A pair of Kansas City-area backstops—Xavier Ritchie (Rockhurst, 2026) and Jag Garrison (Summit Christian, 2026)—turned in strong offensive performances during Monday’s workout at the Missouri State Games. Ritchie impressed with a peak exit velocity of 98.3 mph and an exceptional 94.4 mph average, while also showing well behind the plate with a 1.90 pop time and 80 mph arm strength from the chute.
Xavier Ritchie, Rockhurst (MO), 2026
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6-1, 170-pounds. Long projectable frame with room for added strength.
Hit: RHH. Upright even setup with a wide base, weight centered, and active hands. Uses a short leg lift trigger. Short flat path through the zone, mostly barrels, present power. 67.6 mph bat speed with 7 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 88.6 mph. 306' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-78 mph. 1.87-1.98
Defense: Confident polished actions defensively.
ATH: 1.73 and 4.17 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 22.70 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 76.61 Edge Score
