Joseph
Bukosky

Physical: Lean, highly projectable 5-foot-11, 165lb frame. 6.86 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, taller stance, as the barrel starts at a 45 over the head. Utilized a high leg lift stride to initiate the swing through an uphill, whippy path towards a two-handed finish. Liked to lift to the big part of the yard, producing backspin at T91 mph bat-exit velocity for a 345 foot peak distance. Did some damage when timed up with leverage, intentful actions translate around the field.

Pitching: RHP. Operates from the stretch-only off of the middle of the rubber; above-average hip/shoulder separation down the slope, really gets on top of the hitter. Held every bit of 82-84, T85 mph with arm-side run, creating a funky angle at the plate. Added a gradual 69-71 mph SL up to 13 inches of HM and commanded an upper-70’s CH with east-west control of the zone.

Physical: Sturdy 5-foot-11, 165lb frame with some strength present. 7.31 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Wider, open stance, as the hands offered barrel-whip by the head pre-swing. Utilized a leg-kick stride to initiate the swing through a flat path towards a violent two-handed finish. Demonstrated good leverage out in front of the plate, recording a T92 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak. Worked from a middle of the field approach during batting practice and stayed inside the body. Consistent bat-speed allowed him to handle the inner half of the zone. 

Defensively: The third baseman showed a vertical glove hand early at the toes and set up on time at the fielding window. Funneled softly into the beltline and released from a L ¾ slot (77 mph). 

Pitching: RHP - Operates from stretch-only with a medium leg-lift and good separation out of the glove. Unwinded down the slope and found strikes at the bottom of the zone from a ¾ release. The FB landed 82-83 mph with heavy arm-side run and mixed a sharp, sweeping 70-72 mph SL back across the plate. Featured a developing 77-78 mph CH that faded/killed spin (1398rpms).
