Griffin

6-foot, 180-pound left-handed hitting infielder. Ran a 7.19 sixty at the event. The gait is athletic and he moves well. The arm is clean across the infield, threw 80 mph with carry and accuracy. The glove is solid, probably more suited for second base or corner infield as the throwing path is long. Certainly athletic enough to play all 3 spots in the infield. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 90 mph as he maneuvers the barrel well. The set up is wide, high-handed with a high back elbow. Slight forward lean as he gets into contact, and uses a 1-handed finish after contact. Spread the field in the batting practice session, showed projection for some power to all fields.

6-foot, 178-pounds, a long lengthy strong athletic frame, the movements and actions are very smooth, has plenty of room to fill out. One of the better players I’ve seen this winter. A left-handed hitting infielder, stance is slightly open to even, feet are wider than shoulder width apart and the hands are loaded up at shoulder height with good bat tilt. For timing takes a controlled minimal stride, hands have some wrap to the load, the swing path is down to level to up, stays through the baseball later and rolls his hands late and high. The approach is gap to gap, he squared up balls routinely in both rounds, was an impressive showing. Running ability is above average, was 4.06 down the line and has an athletic kick. Defensively, the prep steps and approach to the baseball are smooth and effortless. He works from the ground up, fields the ball out front and feet move throughout towards his target. Arm action is slightly longer on the back, works out of a natural three quarter slot and arm was clocked at 79 mph with easy carry and life to it. The double play feeds were started correctly, open hip plays made smoothly with rhythm. Projects out to me as a power hitting second basemen at a high college level.

Home - First: 4.06
