Uncommitted. Hoard showed some exciting tools at the plate during pool play. His simple, relaxed approach produces plenty of power and consistent barrels. He left the yard with a loud pullside homerun Saturday afternoon, flashing his power that he generates from his impressive hand speed and strong lower half. Hoard not only has some real pop, but he also has a great feel for the strike zone and is an on base machine. Hoard’s ability to generate high exit velocities without completely selling out makes him a consistent threat at the plate.
