Hughes was a long and strong OF/1B that impressed at Sunday’s event, which was his first time attending a PBR showcase. At 6-foot-2, 200-pounds, Hughes started his day off by running a 7.16 in the 60-yard dash. From the left side of the box, Hughes worked from open to square with a soft upper body. He generated high end bat speed from a controlled leg kick, as well as a controlled forward advance. Hughes entered the zone with a more vertical approach, connected rotation, and popped balls with exit speed as high as 87 mph to the pull-side. He also generated an 80 percent sweet spot rate with balls traveling as far as 354 feet, per TrackMan
