Already known as a quality defender, Wattinger’s added offensive prowess, combined with high level receiving and blocking skills, has him moving up recruiting boards. In game three, Wattinger led off with a triple to deep left-centerfield, and he hammered a ground rule double to left field in his third at bat. What was impressive was his pitch recognition and sense of timing in the box. The right-handed hitter has a simple, balanced setup, using a smooth reverse leg lift has he pushes his weight back and triggers his hands with rhythm. Lands balanced as he strides forward, walking away from his hands and getting into his front side compact lower half weight transfer. Short, quick path with good lag in the barrel and strength at contact with a loose finish and an exit velocity of 86 mph. He was on the barrel during BP all four days, lacing balls through the gaps, and flashing power to his pull side. During the workout on day one, Wattinger threw 77 mph from the crouch with pop times ranging from 2.01-2.19. Clean footwork with rhythm as he gathers to throw to second base. Elbow dominant arm stroke with little effort and a clean release. Blocked and recieved extremely well during the games. Can handle velocity, movement, and balls in the dirt like a poised veteran.
