Nick Steinbrunner: C/2B, (2025) Celina, OH. 5-foot-7, 140-pound lean projectable frame. (66.3 mph bat speed average). (19.5 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced stance with a tight controlled load, then uses a short stride. Bat speed is efficient developing, uses a short swing plane and balanced finish. Created a lot of loud contact and found some barrels. Gap to gap approach. While catching, his best recorded velocity during throw downs was clocked at 75 mph; had next level hands, a clean transfer, and quick in control footwork. Tons of flexibility and flexible setup. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used a high ¾ slot with a short arm action.
