Bardwell also brought a more-physical looking frame and continues to trend as one of the strongest hitters in the class. There is intriguing upside in the 5-foot-11, 190 pounders' profile. He hits from the left-side with exits reaching 99-plus and an above average run time to pair (6.86). The swing features a heavy, ambush-style forward move with the hands creating some stretch as they load to a lower launch. There is power potential in the operation, but the overall feel to hit needs to continue to polish.
We got our first showcase look at Bardwell after he stood out on the circuit this summer, and I walked away impressed with the physical, 5-foot-10, 185 pounder. Bardwell showed off a short, flicky swing with impact behind the barrel to the tune of mid-90's exit velocities and his 7.0 run time allows for speed/power upside. Bardwell should make an impact for Homestead this spring and is undoubtedly a '27 LHH to keep tabs on.
