Grip Strgth (LH)
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.
Grip Strgth (RH)
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.
Ford had a strong two-way week, going 7-for-9 with a home run, two doubles, five RBIs, and six runs, while also throwing four innings with five strikeouts and allowing one earned run. On the season, he is hitting .382/.476/.559 with a home run and seven RBIs, while posting a 1.94 ERA with 30 strikeouts over 21.2 innings.
Ford was dominant in a statement win over Granada, throwing 6.1 shutout innings with nine strikeouts while reportedly sitting 88-90 mph and touching 91. At the plate, he added three hits across the series, including his third home run of the season. He finished the year with a 2.24 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 43.2 innings pitched.
The last time I saw Braden was in the fall at the NorCal Uncommitted games at Cosumnes River College in October. Braden has a very good lower half which helps him on the mound. His FB Max on the day was 86.8 MPH and was sitting between 85.1-86.4 MPH. The CB is sharp and has some bite to it, 70.5-71.6 MPH with a spin rate of 2191 RPM. This is Braden's best off speed pitch, along with a 80% spin efficiency with the CH. (IVB avg 12.3, HM Max 12.9). Ford is set out to be the ace of Livermore HS, with a little more polish before the season starts, Braden is going to have a great year on the mound, especially with more innings under his belt.
