Robert Higdon: LHP/1B, (2023) out of Lynnfield High School, MA. is a 6-foot-1, 183-pound two-way prospect. In the box, Higdon had a max exit velocity of 76 MPH, with a (58.7 mph bat speed average) and (19.1 mph hand speed average). He begins in a balanced, athletic stance with the hands set just off the back shoulder. A short stride triggers a swing that takes a long, uphill path into a good extension. He uses the middle of the field and stays balanced. While in the infield, Higdon made throws up to 73 MPH across the diamond, while displaying he has a clean exchange, consistent, smooth feet, and sure hands. On the mound, Higdon uses a long ¾ arm slot to produce a fastball that sits 69-70 MPH(Max spin 1924; Avg 1850), with some arm side run. The delivery uses simple movements, gets to a good position at the top and he gets in line with home plate on the way down the mound. The tempo is quick and he finishes over the front leg. Higdon also featured a sweeping curveball (65-66 MPH) (Max spin 1645; Avg 1645)
