Grant
Painter

Preseason All-State II

Painter is a James Madison commit and is 6-0 with a lankier athletic frame that has some projection left to it. He hits from the right side from an open athletic stance, leg kick stride on line, loads back to a slight wrap, hips rotate completely with violence, has some balance during his swing. Quick to contact, fast bat, keeps hands inside ball, strong at contact point with extension through it, slightly uphill path, line drive swing has loft built in and ball carries in gaps, showed good approach working gap to gap, still has more power in the tank, exit velocity was 91. In the infield, quick clean feet, rounds ball and fields with a good wide base and soft hands. Works through ball to a quick clean exchange, throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, free arm action. Home to first was 3.88.
