Brett
Paulsen

Strong frame at 6-foot-2 175 pounds; running a 7.13 60. Offensively- Spread stance, slightly open with weight pre-loaded. Limited stride with a barrel tip towards the mound. Pounded balls in batting practice with a mix of line drives and gap shots. Exit velocity peaked at 92 MPH. Consistent, repeatable efforts, workman like approach for the Stony Brook commit. Defensively- Slots at either left side position well; steady defender; early breakdown into the ball. Can make the play on the move with a lower arm slot; traditional release is over the top. Peak velocity across the diamond was 80 MPH. 

Paulsen's arm strength was measured at 81-MPH from the infield.  

Paulsen is a long and lean 6-foot-2 165 pound SS who ran a slightly improved 7.37 60 and a 4.21 home-to-1B. Offensively- Slightly open setup with barrel tipped towards the mound during his load (causing for some late contact early on). Sits back into contact with aggressive rotation into the zone and a late one-handed finish; weight transfer repeats itself giving some carry through the middle of the field. Middle of the field, line drive/opposite field flyball results. Exit velocity up 8 MPH to 90 MPH. Defensively- Tall setup; choppy steps ranging left and right with hands occasionally getting under the body. Makes the play on the move and can release from different arm angles; peak velocity was 76 MPH across the diamond. Physical additions to his frame may project him to 3B or the corner OF.
