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.
Every year we bring a team to the New York State Games, we have one player to goes yard. This year, Chad Heffernan was that guy. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound corner infielder caught a pitch on the outer-half and drove a flyball that carried over the RF fence as the wind was blowing out. Intriguing look in the box from the right-side with the size and frame. Still has development to come but plenty to work and opened some eyes over the two days in Cortland.
