10/05/22

Physical 6-foot-2, 210-pound build. The left-handed hitter blasted baseballs throughout his round of BP, reaching up to 106 mph for his max exit velocity with multiple balls sent over the fence to both left-center and right-center (406’ max distance). He put up some high-level BLAST metrics as well, reaching up to 24.5 mph for his max hand-speed while averaging 80 mph bat-speed (83.2 mph max). 6.84 runner in the 60-yard dash.  

9/10/22

2022 Puma Classic: Hammered a 365 ft opposite field HR with a EV of 101 mph. Showed his strength at the plate and his all fields approach.


6/30/20

6-foot-1, 175 pound switch-hitting outfielder. Athletic frame with room to fill out. Good athlete. Uses an aggressive leg kick to initiate swing. Swing path produces natural lift. Flashed power from the right side hitting multiple BP home runs with a max distance of 371 feet and max exit velocity of 97 mph. Posted elite Blast metrics for a high school hitter. Shows athletic OF actions defensively and works through the ball well with solid arm strength (86 mph). Ran 7.18 laser-timed 60 yard dash. Higdon is one of the top uncommitted 2021 OF's in the state.
