Alsworth stands in at 5-foot-9, 165-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 4.72 home to first. Offensively- Righty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat just above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a stride forward while his hands move back into the hitting position. Utilizes good lower body rotation clearing the hips and getting his whole-body frame involved in the swing. Shows quick hands into the hitting zone with an upward lift barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated line drive ability up the middle and to the pull side during batting practice round. Recorded an exit velocity of 78 MPH, a 5 MPH improvement from July 2016. Defensively- Good approach and footwork to the baseball. Good fielding mechanics with his funnel into the chest and transition to the throwing hand. Takes good aggressive footwork towards intended target and moves well left/right and in on the run. Arm strength will get better with more development. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 75 MPH, a 6 MPH improvement from July 2016.
