7/12/22

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound uncommitted incoming senior started his day off with a quality BP round, staying on the barrel with gap-to-gap feel. Norton’s furthest batted ball traveled 344 feet - the highest mark of the entire event. He also tied for the hardest throw home from the outfield at 88 mph. His arm easily translated over to the mound, working up to 81 mph with a max IVB of 21.4, averaging 17.1. Also showing the ability to spin a 12/6 breaking ball at 64-65 mph and a downer changeup at 77-79 mph.
