Owen
Anderson

True Sophomore. 6-foot, 185-pound frame, some strength throughout with a strong base, good catcher’s build. Another top returner for the Lakers as he turned in a .350 batting average in 140 at-bats last spring with seven doubles, 21 RBIs and 35 runs scored. The right-handed hitter has a lift and place stride which allows him to create some coil with hand-separation, firing through the zone with a mostly flat path and using the whole field. Steady defender behind the plate with a quick/clean catch and throw operation, working in-line with second and reaching as low as 2.05 for his pop-time. Deadens the ball out front on blocks and hops out with a motor on bunts.
