8/26/17 5-foot-9, 150-pound right-handed hitter initiates swing from square set up with short stride staying neutral. Hands are direct to baseball leading to short stroke. Weight shift is somewhat passive and separation is limited. Swing has good balance and rhythm. Head is still and bat is on plane throughout hitting zone. Allinger stays behind baseball well with good leverage. Benefit would be gained from closing back foot in set up and being more aggressive in weight shift as well as working back elbow up and back in load. Bat exit velocity of 75 mph was recorded and overall swing demonstrated considerable potential with expected strength gains.
