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: C/1B
Body: 6-0, 210-pounds. XL frame with present size and strength throughout. Athleticism should continue to develop.
Hit: RHH. Wide stance with his knees bent and slightly hunched over. A rock rearward loads the swing as it pushes his hands into a loaded postition. Solid separation from such little movement. Inconsistent bat path through the zone leads to varied contact. Hard barrels from gap to gap when he stays through the zone. 64.7 mph bat speed with 15 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 82.1 mph. 279' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-58 mph. Still developing arm with a short 3/4 release.
Defense: 2.18-2.28 pop times. Has a tendency to go into the right handed batters box on throwdowns loosing some time on direction. Stays in legs well.
Vizual Edge: 64.91 Edge Score
