10.07.17 - Drake is a switch-hitting, catcher-outfielder with a lean-muscular frame at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds. From the left side of the plate, Drake has loose-quick rhythm with good energy in his lower half. Starts from an open stance and rolls inward as he loads his hands down and back. Quick hips as rotates to transfer his back knee to contact, slightly uphill path with good extension through contact. Right-handed, he starts from a quiet, wider stance, but still slightly open. Smooth load with a short stride as his hands load back, lands balanced. Quick hands through the zone with good barrel awareness. In the outfield he plays through the ball with quick footwork, and an accurate arm at 84 mph from a short, high-¾ slot. Behind the plate, Drake threw 76 mph from the crouch with pop times of 2.14-2.3
