Bethea stands at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds. Lean and athletic build. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.72 seconds with a top exit velocity recorded at 87 MPH. Unique setup at the plate, with his weight heavily shifted onto his backside while the front leg is extended. Hands start towards the middle of his body and move down and back in his load. Explosive through the zone, strong lower half. Hard contact through the middle of the field. In the infield, was short and choppy to the ball, maintaining control of his body. Lower frontside when making throws, where he recorded a top velo of 72 MPH.
Bethea has a lanky build at 5-foot-10 155-pounds. Ran the 60 in 8.04 seconds and exit velocity toped at 76 mph. At the plate, starts in a neutral stance with weight starting on back leg. Uses a toe tap to start swing process. Minimal hand load, hands load down as bat wraps around head slightly. In the field, took reps at 3B. Throws topped at 70 mph. Fields ball out front and brings straight to chest as a gather. High-3/4 slot. Still some strength needed, but as he continues to to get stronger, expect the metrics to improve.
