6/26/24
Root was the number three hitter for Leathernecks 14U and hit .500 on the weekend. Standing at a projectable 6-foot, 150 pounds, the outfielder sets up in a wider base with his hands near his head. In trigger, the right-handed uses his hands to get to a position of loft with an uphill swing path.
