Hirsbrunner

10/7/18 - Central Coast Open - 6-foot-3, 155-pounds, lean and long lanky body type, Average runner with 7.65 60 yd dash. Offensively keeps his hands even and wider away from his body with a high back elbow. His toe tap keeps him in time while producing quick turns and creating loft with a heavy pull-side focus (79 MPH exit velo). At 1st base he plays with higher hips and some body control. His glove can be heavy but was sure handed during the event while using a longer arm action on average throws (74 MPH).

Pitching - On the mound he works with a shorter arm action keeping his hands mid chest before getting to a high-3/4 release point. His delivery starts with a wider side step and lower knee while utilizing a slight pause before drive down the hill and finishing with soft heel strike on a soft front knee. Tilts front shoulder up to hide the ball for a bit. Lower body not incorporated as much as it could be. All parts of delivery worked with timing and balance though lacked explosiveness. Calm and measured tempo, maintained calm head. Easy long arm action with elbow inverted. Fastball fair life (75-76 mph), rolling action to curveball (58-60 mph), change-up was a forkball that came out decently and some late tumble action when he got to optimal extension (62-64 mph).
