Sage
Hampton

10.07.17 - Hampton has a strong, projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds. The right-handed hitter starts from a tall, open stance, smooth load as he shifts his weight back and uses a slight toe-tap for timing as he strides forward, walking away from his hands, creating good separation and landing in an aggressive launch position. Short path with a quick top hand punch to contact allows him to get the barrel out front and back spin balls to the pull side. Back leg drives through contact with a solid lower half transfer, loose finish through contact and an exit velocity of 93 mph. In the outfield, Hampton has a good sense of timing as he plays through ball and throws from a ¾ slot with accuracy at 83 mph. Ran a 7.11 60-yard dash.
