7/24/18 Defensively as catcher, demonstrates soft, quiet glove hand in receiving and framing. Flashes soft wall and solid range in blocking. Arm strength of 70 mph out of crouch played to POP time of 2.27 on this day.
Defensively as OF, gets behind and works through the ball both in the air and on the ground. Bokulich is decisive in reads and takes direct routes. 73 mph arm strength was registered on throws from the OF.
Offensively, 5-foot-8, 150-pound right-handed hitter initiates swing from narrow, neutral set up with leg hang and stride to neutral. Separation is solid. Weight shift and hip turn are aggressive. Leverage is present while staying behind the ball and rotating into a firm front side. Bat spends extended time in hitting zone.
6/15/17 - Bokulich shows athletic actions both behind the dish and at the plate. While his 77 mph bat exit velocity does not jump off the page there is a lot to like about the mechanics of the sophomore to be's swing. Strength gains should allow the swing to consistently play. Defensively, Bokulich demonstrated above average lateral movement, clean transfers and solid foot work achieving a 2.18 pop time. Again mechanics suggest marked improvement in association with physical maturation.
