Gavin
Russ

Physical right-handed bat with a 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame and strength in the box. Bat-first profile with a connected, compact stroke that generates real pull-side power (96 EV, 350’ max). Moves well for his size, posting a 6.96 sixty, which adds to the intrigue of the offensive package. Arm strength is serviceable at 75 mph across the diamond, projecting best at 1B. A strong athlete who should continue to impact the baseball with middle-of-the-order potential.

Gavin Russ is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound offensive-minded prospect with a young look and plenty of upside in the bat. A strong, repeatable setup paired with a short, efficient path allows the right-handed hitter to produce consistent hard contact, evidenced by a 99 mph max exit velocity. The swing flashes real bat speed and strength, and he stays in the zone long enough to project future impact. Defensively, Russ profiles best at 1B or possibly a corner outfield spot, where his 6.96 60-time supports the athleticism to handle a corner OF role down the line.
