2017 PG Fall Top Prospect National Showcase
Hunter Bertrand is a 2018 1B/RHP with a 6-4 200 lb. frame from Abbeville, LA who attends St. Thomas More High School. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and long limbs, projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.17 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman, hands play well out front at the ball with a clean transfer into throws, pivots well off the bag with fluid actions and shows carry and arm strength on throws across the diamond. Shows nice body control in the infield, soft hands out front at the ball with range to either side. Also pitched, side step into delivery with a high leg lift up above belt, full arm action through the back working to an over-the-top release point; quickness to arm and gets on top of fastball well, mostly true in life and topped out at 81 mph, occasional cut action. Able to induce ground ball contact, developing consistent feel for 11-5 shape curveball. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate. Shifts weight well through lower half and shows balance to swing; direct path to the ball and repeats it well. Quick hands with a linear path through the zone, looseness to it and projects while showing consistent barrel with ability to work all fields at present. Good student.
