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: 2B/RHP
Body: 5-9, 196-pounds. Physical build.
Delivery: Uptempo drop and drive delivery. Uses a high leg lift before striding open and falling off after landing with recoil.
Arm Action: RH. Short strong arm action from a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T80, 79-80 mph. Mostly strikes, feel for high spin, keeps its plane. T2421, 2194 average rpm.
CB: 66-69 mph. Developing accuracy, high spin, rolling 1/7 shape. T2496, 2469 average rpm.
SL: 66-66 mph. Good control, high spin, sharp right to left break with some gradual drop. T2428, 2428 average rpm.
CH: 75-76 mph. Developing accuracy, arm side fade. T1901, 1845 average rpm.
ATH: 1.77 and 4.17 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 18.50 max vertical.
Positional Profile: 2B/RHP
Body: 5-9, 196-pounds. Physical build.
Hit: LHH. Tall open setup with a balanced base, weight sitting on back side, and some bat movement pre pitch. Uses a high leg lift trigger working back to even. Compact flat path through the zone, some barrels, power present. 72.9 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 83.1 mph. 283' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-81 mph. Short stroke from a 3/4 slot.
Defense: Polished actions defensively.
ATH: 1.77 and 4.17 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 18.50 max vertical.
