Grandjean

 
Campus Series-Albany (July 18, 2017) 

Grandjean stands in at 6-foot-0, 185-pounds with a strong, lean, athletic frame. Offensively- Righty sets up slightly open with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding his hands just above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a knee raise into the body to stride forward while his hands move back into a good hitting position. Has quick hands into the hitting zone with an upward lift barrel path throughout into a high one-handed finish. Utilizes good lower body rotation getting whole frame involved in the swing. Demonstrated line drive potential driving the baseball down the left field line and into the left-center gap. Shows a clean, fluid swing with potential. Recorded an exit velocity of 87 MPH. Defensively- Good approach and footwork getting to the baseball. Gets underneath well with an appropriate outfielder arm swing gaining momentum towards intended target. Crow hop mechanics are smooth going through the movement to get into a solid throwing position. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 78 MPH. Talented 2018 prospect still available.
