Rising Stars (February 11, 2018)

Stellrecht is a 5-6 135 pound SS with a strong athletic frame. He ran a 7.84 60 with a Home to 1st time of 4.69. Offensively- Sets up with a slight open stance and moderate leg kick into his load.  Exit velo was 73 MPH off a tee. Was able to repeat his swing and produce line drives to all fields. He is a switch hitter who used the opposite field more productively from the left side.  Defensively - Infield velo was 71 MPH; will need to work on getting a wider base and continue momentum through the ball at the catch phase of movement. Tentative approach.
