Ryan
Bothwell

1/24/15
Big and physical at 6-foot-2, 220-pounds. Lots of strength in frame. Defensively, actions improved since October event. Fielded ball in middle of body, exchange and transferred ball well. Hands have become softer, a little stiff in lower half. Arm was clean with some length, footwork was fluid  and was clocked at 82 mph across the infield. Throws were online and had carry from position. Offensively, Bothwell had the highest exit velocity of the day at 96 mph. Hands were loose with strength and quickness. Load was quiet and in good position to hit. Started in a slight crouch position that was slightly open. Finished online with a small stride to load. Created good leverage on front side with a slight uppercut to his swing. Raw type power guy who looks to have a breakout summer. Receiving interest from a handful of junior colleges.

6-foot-2, 200-pound muscular, strong frame. Defensively, big bodied corner guy, strong arm across diamond with carry at 81 mph. Fielded a couple balls off back leg, hands are there, need to soften up a touch but work right now. Offensively, flashes serious power with strength and bat speed. Hands work through the zone, stays balanced and produces loud contact. With size and strength could turn into serious power threat with some minor mechanical tweaks. Exit velocity was tops at 93 mph. 40 time was 5.50.
