Parker

Utilized a controlled leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a violent, slightly-uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed behind the ball, creating healthy extension on the front-side, and generated heavy contact to pull. Recorded a T104 mph bat-exit velocity at 389 feet and projects easily to handle a middle of the order role at the next level. Crushes fastballs in game action. 

Defensively: The primary first baseman displays great body control and footwork around the bag for his size. Light on the toes and gets in an athletic position to field. Soft glove-hand, accurate arm strength up to 82 mph from a H ¾ slot, followed the throw.

Offensively: RHH - Physical setup at an upright position as the hands started high. Utilized a leg-hang stride with hip-coil, exploding at footstrike through a high-intent, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed over the rear hip with impact bat-speeds and easy juice to the pull-side of the field, hitting with leverage primarily. Recorded one of the louder rounds of batting practice that we’ve seen over the course of the year, hitting 6 home runs with undivided attention from the crowd.

Offensively: RHH - Wide, balanced stance with the hands starting high and barrel downward on the shoulder; utilized a barrel wiggle at the top of the load coupled with a leg-lift to generate impressive ground power in the swing. The hands launch through an explosive, flat path yielding lift after impact and an easy pull-side approach during batting practice. Notched multiple home-runs over the big wall in LF showing ready power from the right side of the plate.

The righty started from a bent, slightly open stance with the barrel waving slowly on the shoulder while utilizing a deliberate toe tap stride to get into the legs. The hands whipped the barrel through a slightly uphill path with thunderous intent at the front of the plate; generated a 397 foot peak batted ball distance during his round of batting practice. Multiple Blast Motion measurables were eye popping: an 81 mph bat speed and a 29.40 mph hand speed. Definite ability to handle a middle of the order role at the next level and can run it out of the yard with the best of them. 

Defensively: Primary first baseman moved extremely well at the corner spot working with precision and feel around the bag.

Utilized a toe-tap stride with minimal hand movement on the load allowing for high bat to ball skills during a loud batting practice round.
