Culpepper

The 5-foot-11, 165-pound switch hitting middle infielder has a wiry, long frame and can swing it from both sides of the dish.  Advanced defensive movements and some electric bat speed, stronger from the right side.  Feel for the barrel and stays in the zone. Soft quick hands and can play all three infield positions.  

5-10, 150-pound middle infielder w/ special defensive actions, bat speed.  Short, lean, athletic frame w/ likely growth spurt coming.  Offensively, learning to switch hit, but only saw from his natural right side on this day.  Hits from a slightly open, slightly crouched stance w/ back shoulder hand location.  Slight shift of weight, stride to slightly open and proper load.  Short to the ball w/ more power than frame suggests.  Drove a triple to right center field in game.  Barrel stays in zone long time w/ barrel feel.  Advanced hitter for his age.  Defensively, spent time at both middle infield positions, showing advanced actions w/ soft, quick hands.  Arm strength was not tested.  Makes difficult plays look easy.  Elite 2021 MIF prospect.
