Dawson
Hargrove

Uncommitted. Hargrove, 6-foot-3, 160-pounds,  has a wiry frame, long arms, but has some firmness to his frame and has room to grow. He was 83-86 in his outing with some effort and supplemented his fastball with a low 70’s breaking ball on the day. There is upside in Hargrove if he continues to develop and improve his command of his repertoire.

2/3/19 - Max FB: 82, FB (80-82), CB (69-70), CH (73-74)

6-3, 190-pound righty shows intriguing 3-pitch mix and projectable frame.  Prototypical pitcher frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Pitches from a full wind-up into ¾ to H ¾ release from the third base side of the rubber.  Lot of moving parts, some deception.  Arm works w/ occasional extension.  Despite moving parts, shows ability to repeat delivery, keep arm on time.  FB flashes arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation, flashes late bite.  CH w/ arm-speed, fade and sink.  Around the zone w/ 3-pitch mix, projects to be a strike-thrower.

2/3/19 - 60: 7.48, IF Velo: 79, Exit Velo: 85

6-3, 190-pound corner infielder had a strong workout, improving all his numbers across the board.  Prototypical corner IF frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, upright stance w/ short hand rhythm into knee to knee stride and short hand load.  Learning to repeat the same swing every time, get lower half involved.  Shows really good hands, keeping them inside the baseball and getting them to the zone.  As lower half gets more involved and consistent, will unlock an easy swing w/ projectable pull power.  Defensively, moves well at 1B w/ projectable arm strength and quick arm speed.

7/3/18 - Max FB: 82, FB: 77-80, CB: 67-70, CH: 72-73
6-foot-2, 155-pound, RHP showed intriguing FB velocity and size.  Medium, athletic frame w/ long limbs, super projectable.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ to OTT release from the first base side of the rubber.  Extension.  Clean, repeatable delivery.  Quick arm, waiting on frame to mature before velocity jump will come.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB flashes proper shape and rotation, early breaker at times.  Straight CH w/ arm-speed.  Around the zone w/ his 3-pitch mix, fills the zone w/ the FB.  Projects to command.  Generated 4 swing and misses on 17 swings.

7/3/18 - Home-1^st: 4.84, Position Velocity:  IF-77, Exit Velocity: 82
6-foot-2, 155-pound, LHH picked up a hit in game while showing some pull power in BP.  Medium, athletic frame w/ long limbs, super projectable.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into shift of weight, leg kick and proper load.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Pull oriented approach.  Learning to stay through the baseball, hips occasionally open early, forcing him to stay pull heavy.  Tools to hit.  Projectable pull power as the frame continues to mature.  Defensively, moves well at 1B w/ some stiffness in the hips, soft hands and projectable arm strength.
