Ryder Oswalt, Eastlake (WA), 2027 Positional Profile: C/2B Body: 5-8, 180-pounds. Hit: RHH. Start further back in the box more than shoulder width apart. Weight is even on both feet and the stance is square. Upper half is more upright. Hands are relaxed, hovering over rear shoulder just below ear high and knob angled slightly to catcher. Hands and leg stay in sync, leg stride widens base into a lower stance with weight staying back through the swing with uphill contact with the ball. Hands load back away from the body before breaking into a tighter swing through the zone with a hard two-handed finish. 68.6 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 85.9 mph. 326' max distance. Arm: RH. C-72 mph. Catches and transfers the ball high into a short action over the ear release with a tight glove hand to body. Defense: 1.99-2.06 pop times. Works from traditional 1KD stance presenting a target at center of the strike zone for the pitcher, sticks pitches with flexion in the wrist when framing. Goes to both knee up stance on throwdowns with a taller upper half, stays quiet behind the plate before popping up into throwdowns. Keeps the ball in front when blocking wild pitches. ATH: 1.82 and 4.21 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Vizual Edge: 78.17 Edge Score
