Des Lauries is an uncommitted explosive athlete showcasing high end capacity clocking 6.62 in the 60 yard dash and driving exit speeds up to 99 mph off the bat. Des Lauries did all of this after putting on 5-to-10 pounds of lean mass in the offseason. In the box, he sets up wide while working a rhythmic wiggle. After a short stride to plant, Des Lauries makes compact swings to the baseball with fast hands, and sufficient barrel speed while repeating hard contact. It could be reasonably said that there’s much more slugging in the tank, and the development pathway would have limited resistance for this athlete.
