John Hlavaty, Foster (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: C/1B RHH/C with build to add strength. Developing behind plate, shows ability to handle unknown pitchers in game play. Upside to bat/power combo with adjustments, will improve contact consistency and impact with changes. Can develop.
Body: 6-0, 159-pounds. Solid build/frame. Will add strength with continued growth. Good physical projections.
Hit: RHH. Lands in nice position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, gets stuck in rotation at times. Work to get foot fully rotated all the time, drive lower 1/2 forward hard into firm front side. Stay into front side thru swing, resist falling back. Hitting into firm front side will improve posture at contact. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Takes solid path to hit zone with both hands and barrel . Struggles to stay thru baseball with body falling back.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 81.8 mph. 273' max distance. Nice bat/power combo with upside. Adjustment opportunities present to improve contact consistency and impact.
Arm: RH. C-75 mph. BA raw arm strength, avg accuracy to throws. Recommend long toss program to increase arm speed.
Defense: 2.05-2.11 pop times. Receives well, nice exchange glove to hand. Feet work setting to throw. Did nice job handling pitchers in game play.
ATH: 7.30 runner in the 60. Strides well. Can improve upon picking head up a tad sooner, instead of looking down. Will get faster with maturity. 21.90 max vertical.
