Kenneth
Dodson Jr

Proportional, athletic build at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Offensively – Narrow, balanced stance with some knee bend. Starts slightly open to the pitcher. Uses controlled leg lift to get into landing. Quick, loose hands with noticeable bat speed. Barrel whips thru the zone with low effort. Line drive approach with the chance for some pull-side power in future. Overall, very fluid and athletic hitting actions in the box. Defensively – Twitchy defender at SS. Moves laterally with ease and shows consistent body control in all of his actions. Should have no issue staying up the middle at the next level. Quick exchange with short, compact arm action. Has advanced feel for tempo/pace on defense.

60 Yard Dash: 7.05
Exit Velocity: 86
Positional Arm: 87

Last Chance Preview (November 18, 2017) Another 'Newcomer' to the PBR system and ranking is the 5-foot-9, 160-pound sure handed Kenneth Dodson. Athletic and defensively sound up the middle, Dodson impressed our staff only four short weeks ago. Active lower half, fluid mechanics, soft hands with a strong accurate arm (82 mph). Slower release due to the arm-testing in the showcase format, but hands are quick and clean and I'd guess his transfers in games are too. At the plate, another well balanced, compact and short to the ball prospect. Barrel gets to the ball on a quick level path, some tilt through the finish. Some juice in his loose hands (89 mph exit velo off a tee). Very excited to see Dodson grow and develop this spring/summer.
