Hurd

Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame with an imposing presence in all phases. 7.62 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Even, slightly offset start with the shoulders pointed downward, minor rhythm in the hands upright at the shoulder; utilized a short lift and replace stride getting into the ground early in order to initiate the barrel through a slight uphill path and into the hitting zone. Tight turns with ability to hold his positioning in the box, stayed low in the legs and hit behind the baseball into a stiff front side. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 87 mph per Trackman Baseball and a 46% line drive rate giving confidence he can hit for some average down the line. A 77% on-plane efficiency suggests that the bat to ball skills are already there. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop showed above-average feel for the feet evidenced by quick lateral movements working right to left at the fielding window. Flashed a strong arm from a power, high-¾ slot with good downhill footwork towards the target; recorded an 82 mph arm with accuracy.

Physical: 5-foot-9, 155 pounds; long, lanky frame. 7.42 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Feet just past shoulder width, athletic bend in the knees with high hands and a barrel that wraps around his head; small toe tap into a stride forward, hands get pushed back to begin the load. Quick lower half actions that create some controlled hip-shoulder separation with an uphill path with good control of the barrel, turning it early behind him; a lot to like about the swing. Pulled the ball well to the left side of the field in the air; peak Trackman exit velocity of 87 MPH.
Defensively: Starts low to the ground with a lot of bend in the knees; quick first step to the ball, tracked it well laterally and worked well through the baseball. Easy hands with a funnel to the chest and a clean transfer to throwing hand; Low 3/4 slot with whippy actions; sterotypical MIF slot and action. INF - 75 MPH.
