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.
Brayden Naegele, Salado (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: OF/SS RHH/CF Projects well physically for strength. Plus runner, shows nice quickness to start. Solid defender, moves well to baseball. Plus HS raw arm strength developing. Solid bat/power combo, will hit, shows line drive contact now, power will develop. Watch develop.
Body: 5-7, 168-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Projects well physically.
Hit: RHH. Toe tap stride, rotational back foot with linear movement. Solid use of lower 1/2 in swing. Hits into firm front leg, solid posture at contact. Stride foot stays into ground, hits from ground up. Solid approach. With stride, hands drop, back elbow raises causing barrel tip over cap and length to swing. Soften hand and elbow movement with stride to allow barrel to launch from position allowing for direct path to hit zone. Shows solid contact now with line drives. Shortening path will allow ability to wait longer. 67.7 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 101 max exit velocity, averaged 93.4 mph. 350' max distance. Solid bat/power combo. Opportunity to firm swing adjustment.
Arm: RH. OF-90 mph. Sets feet to throw, arm works, arm speed present. Above avg HS arm strength.
Defense: Moves well to baseball, breaks down well to field. Solid fielding ball off left foot, sets well to throw.
ATH: 6.80 runner in the 60. 1.67 and 3.80 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Solid start, run form and stride length. Speed can tick up slightly in future. 24.90 max vertical.
