Crisci

06.26.18
6-foot, 185-pound frame with strength throughout.  In BP, he hit balls off the barrel to the pullside and posted 84 mph exit velo off the tee.  The right-hander has an athletic stance, has his hands set up high, takes a leg kick to generate weight shift, drops his hands back slightly in his load, has strong drive in his lower half, and looks to do damage to the pull side in his aggressive swing.  Crisci had pop times ranging from 1.92-2.13 showing quick footwork, a clean exchange, backspin carry, and arm strength (76 mph). Crisci has fundamental footwork behind the plate, he stays low throughout the throw, and his solid base allowed him to make strong throws to second base.

6-foot, 185-pound, strong, sturdy frame. Behind the plate, Crisci has an excellent defensive skill set, with soft hands and a clean, elbow dominant arm stroke behind the plate which translated into accurate throws. Crisci put his throwdowns on the bag with pop times of 1.91, 1.96, 2.01, and 2.01 and a velocity from the crouch of 77 mph. Offensively, the right-handed hitter has a simple, balanced stance. Loads easy with a short leg kick, average bat speed with strength at contact. Drove the ball to the pull side during batting practice. Exit velocity 80 mph off the tee. During the game, Crisci tanked a moon shot foul ball deep down the left-field line.
