A backstop to note from Sunday's trip to Kansas City is C Jaxon Pollard (Jefferson West, 2027). A two-sport standout who also excels on the gridiron, Pollard brings strength in a 5-foot-10, 212-pound frame and showed raw bat power from an impactful right-handed swing. Working to the pull side throughout his round, his hardest hit ball came off the bat at 97.1 mph, averaging 88.9 mph. An athletic mover defensively with arm strength from the chute, Pollard will be a name to know for the Tigers this spring.
