Joshua
Rudock

Stands at 5-foot-7, 155 pounds, with an athletic body build.  Defensively – In the infield he has a good approach through the ball, with smooth, soft hands, throws with a high 3/4 arm action, and has accuracy on the target.  Offensively - At the plate his setup is relaxed and very balanced, short stride, with a back load.  His hands are very compact, swinging with some uphill tilt, with good extension through the ball, with a high finish.  

Futures Games (July 7-9, 2015)

One of the few 2019 participants at the Futures Games Josh showed that he will be a player to follow. Well put together at 5'7" 155 lbs Josh ran an impressive 6.98 60, a slight improvement from his February performance. Also showed a bump in exit velocity (74 to 77 MPH). Offensively Josh features a slightly spread stance with a short stride. Hands dip some during take back causing some bottom 1/3 contact on the baseball. Stays in that direction with finish creating some lift. Will be a player that can split the pull side gap. Defensively Josh fields everything out in front and showed an accurate arm from the left side. Above average arm strength at 75 MPH for his age. Projects as a 2B/3B type but runs well enough to possibly pursue a corner outfield spot if needed. Pitching Josh works from a compact balance point with a high 3/4 arm slot, almost over the top. Movements are a bit stiff on the mound, relaxing arm slot here may be beneficial in freeing him up. CB had some 12-6 action with late bite. Finishes square to the plate and in a good fielding position. Velo sits mid 70's, will be interesting to watch his progress as a 2019 graduate.

Rudock stands an athletic 5-foot-7, 155-pounds, ran an impressive (7.07) 60yd dash.  At the plate he stands tall, with feet shoulder width apart.  Uses quick load method.  Stays inside the baseball, level swing with lift at contact. Should work on extension out front.  Balanced high finish.  Exit velocity was (74).  On the mound he has a linear approach.  Starts hands in front of his face, uses a small rocker step to a belt high leg lift.  Hands drop to his belt before separation.  Counter rotation to a Short but quick arm motion. High 3/4 arm slot.  Would like to see him stretch it, out and stay over the rubber longer.  Needs to work on his extension and glove use.  Could gain velocity easily. FB was (73)mph.
