Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Body: 5-8, 150-pounds.
Hits: RHH. Upright posture with an open lower half in the box. Tall, relaxed stance with some rhythm in hands. Closes off posture with a reverse toe-tap into a forward stride. Keeps some flexion on back leg throughout. Full hip rotation into contact. Hands show some subtle movement and rhythm prior to forward move. Tight, short hand load that creates late tension through his core. Upper half stays inside of the baseball with a flatter, more level swing path
Power: 81 max exit velocity, averaged 71.5 MPH. 262' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-72 mph. Quick exchange at about chest height. Ball stays high out of the glove with a straight back arm path into 3/4 release. Consistent exchange
Defense: 2.05-2.20 pop times. Traditional set-up behind the plate with a reliable glove hand while receiving. Feet quickly adjust direction towards target and gain some ground as he throws. Keeps an upright torso while crouched to help present a big target and smother the ball when he needs to make a block
