Left-handed hitting catchers with a knack for the barrel and developing power are always intriguing, add one whose arm strength behind the dish catches your attention and you get a player you’ll monitor closely come spring time. Bacon is exactly that. With slightly above average bat speed (68.5 mph), Bacon has the present look of a high average hitter that will bang plenty of doubles to the gaps. The power may come, it may not, but the bat has the looks of one that can be a quality contribution to a lineup. Arm strength (74 mph) and accuracy (1.95-1.99 pops) add to the projectable profile.

Positional Profile: C/1B Body: 5-11, 160 pounds. Hit: LHH. Athletic setup with a narrow base. Hands start high with load, work back at same time as the stride. High leg kick, loose movements throughout with great body control, stays balanced. Loose, compact swing with uphill path and intent to lift. Exceptional hand and hip speed to generate power. 68.5 mph bat speed with 21g of rotational acceleration. Power: 95 mph max exit velocity (86.9 avg.); 365-foot max batted distance. Arm: RH. C - 74.00 mph. Quick arm that whips over the top. Overhand slot. Defense: 1.95-1.99 pop time range; Soft receiver, quick movements behind the plate. Momentum carries him forward to throw. Athletic Testing: 7.27 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Luke Bacon, Arlington (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: C/OF Body: 5-10, 145-pounds. medium frame with some strength Hit: LHH. slightly open stance with bend in the knees. elbow higher in back with hands above back shoulder. flat bat. small stride with balance in the turn. hands stay back with good connection from the hip/elbow. path works slightly uphill with leverage and a high finish. uses body/hands well. 66.9 mph bat speed with 15.5 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 84 max exit velocity, averaged 78.7 mph. 285' max distance. stays through the middle of the field with good feel for driving the ball in the air with back spin to the gaps. plays at doubles currently with HR potential. Arm: RH. C-71 mph. transfer is quick with a short arm action and online carry. Defense: 2.08-2.25 pop times. ATH: 8.04 runner in the 60. good burst off the line
