Hale

06.26.18
6-foot-1, 190-pound frame with some strength.  Hale ran a 7.28 laser-timed 60. Pounded 90 mph exit velo off the tee, and flashed some power in BP to left center.  He has raw strength in his hands and wrists at the plate, has a flat barrel in his stance, and maintains flatness in the swing, keeps his hands back behind his back foot in his stride, he works from an open stance with a high leg kick, turns his left knee inward on leg kick to create torque in the load and stride, has minimal head movement in his swing, a long path through the zone with his barrel, and he looks to pull the baseball.  In the infield he has soft hands, funnels the ball smoothly to his midline to make a clean exchange, has a ¾ arm angle with a quick release, and has 80 mph arm speed across the diamond. From behind the plate, his pop times ranged from 2.18-2.33, he has low release point with 75 mph velocity, direction in his footwork, and gets his footwork done quickly while throwing.
