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.
RHP/INF Nick Minikel (Manitowoc Lincoln, 2028) opened some eyes with his work on the mound on Sunday. Minikel repeated an athletic delivery and pounded the zone with feel for a fastball that he was able to run up to 81 mph. He paired it with two different breaking balls including a sharp and late breaking top to bottom curveball that he displayed the ability to land for strikes and get below the zone. His slider was a lateral sweeping breaker that will force hitters to try to cover both sides of the plate with his late tailing fastball and sweeping slider. Additionally, he deployed a change up with late fade and depth and was thrown with a fastball intent. Overall, it was a very impressive look and arrow is way up for Minikel who should continue to add velocity as his frame continues to fill.
