Notes

1/05/25

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.

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.
