5/10/22

Arizona commit, currently ranked No. 32 in Illinois. Lean, 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame, highly projectable. Started at shortstop and hit out of the two-hole against Burlington Central. At shortstop, Hintz showed off fluid actions, especially to his back-hand, soft hands that work out front with athletic footwork, and also displayed quick/clean double-play turns. His arm plays with clear strength and velocity across the diamond, carrying with ease and delivering accurate strikes routinely. The right-handed hitter starts in an athletic setup, working into a repeatable/consistent stride; his hands stay close to his body and work short/quick to the ball, level path with bat-speed.

Arizona commit. Currently ranked No. 32 in Illinois’ 2022 class. Wiry, projectable frame with room for additional strength, standing at 5-foot-11, 155-pounds. Started on the mound against Nazareth and tossed six innings with four hits, no earned runs, five strikeouts and one walk. Hintz works with a short/clean arm circle out of the glove into a ¾ slot, playing quick to release. He works with a fluid tempo on the mound and low-perceived effort; driving off his back leg from balance point with a stride that remains in-line, staying tall at release and creating a downward angle towards the plate. His fastball sat comfortably at 87-89 mph with horizontal movement to the arm-side, running into right-handed hitters with late life, also holding his velocity into the sixth inning. His best-looking secondary offering was a sharp breaking ball at 71-73 mph, playing off an 11/5 plane and thrown confidently for both strikes and to put hitters away. He also went to a late sinking changeup that he threw in any count, mirroring fastball arm-speed and thrown with confidence, 80-81 mph. The polished repertoire that Hintz possesses should certainly allow him to remain in the starting role at the next level if necessary; while he also possesses a high-upside arm that is easy to dream on.
