Physical: 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Lean, athletic frame. 4.65 home-to-1B. Offensively: RHH. Balanced stance with a wide base, hands are high and work back on load along with a small leg lift for timing Barrel is quick, flat and direct through the zone and finishes on an uphill plane. Hard pull side contact. 84 MPH raw exit velocity. Defensively: Smooth lateral movements, fields the ball just inside his arm foot and funnels it into his body. Short arm swing with a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 76 MPH. Pitching: Works from the stretch with a low leg lift, glove arm gets up as he strides out for shoulder tilt before pulling through release and following through to the glove side. Long arm action with some whip to a high 3/4 release. FB: T 77, 75-77 MPH. Downhill plane with arm side tail. CB: 65-68 MPH. Sharp 12-6 break. CH: 71-72 MPH. Maintains arm speed with tail.
12/29/18
5-foot-9, 155-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed balance throughout with a line drive approach and a feel for the barrel with a bat exit velocity of 82 mph. Defensively, would benefit from allowing his feet to be more active while playing through the baseball. Showcased 76 mph arm strength across the diamond and ran a 7.60 60-yard dash. On the mound, Krupa sat 75-77 out of a 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm stroke and some arm-side run to his fastball. Curveball at 63-65 showed tight 11/5 rotation while he is still developing a feel for his changeup at 61-68.
