Hackenberg

5.24.17: Athletic frame that is strong. Behind the plate, good receiver with quiet hands, presents a good strike and doesn’t block umpire’s view of pitch with his taller frame. Sits down and kicks a leg out to get lower. Very quick, quiet exchange, smooth in doing so, between inning pop times were 1.94-2.00 with accuracy, throw velocity was 80. Shorts arm action from a high three-quarters arm slot with a lot of carry. Very quick release on snap throws to other bags. At plate, short leg kick stride, short swing with extension through the ball. Good bat speed with strength behind it, uses whole field, doubled to right at a key point in the game.

9.29.16 - Clemson commit. Big power potential with already pull side pop. Hands worked well at the plate and strong kid with mature body already in junior year of high school. Created fast bat speed at plate. Quick feet with clean exchange behind the plate. Pop time consistently in the 1.95-2.01 range during workout. Nice prospect with projection.

Hackenburg is the younger brother of former Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg. He has a strong 6-1 frame and showed power potential during the 2015 high school season. He is a multi-sport athlete and also plays linebacker at Fork Union.
