Batting Practice Highlights
5/18/2019
Christopher Scinta (2022 LHP, Tamarac, FL) has a big 6-0/200 build and the strength in his swing that goes with his size. He gets to his front side well and is very consistent with his timing, enabling him to square up the ball on almost every swing and get some jump on the ball.
Walter Ford (2023 SS, Pace, FL) has a nice and projectable 6-1/165 build and was timed up from his first swing. He has strong hands for his age and got the ball to jump hard to the ball side from a simple and repeatable swing.
Andy Hernandez (2023 OF, Hialeah, FL) is a quick twitch athlete with hitter's hands that he explodes at the ball and creates plenty of bat speed for his size. He'll keep improving with some adjustments to his hand position and additional strength.
Aidan Miller (2023 OF, Trinity, FL) had perhaps the best raw bat speed of the day, although he needs some hand position adjustments as well to gain more consistency. He launched a couple of balls deep to the middle of the field once he got timed up.
Cade Kurland (2023 SS, Tampa, FL) has hitter's hands, with good quickness to the ball and nice barrel control and bat speed. He'll keep improving as he gets stronger.
Cristofer Walley (2023 LHP, Inverness, FL) is a primary pitcher but he has the strength and swing approach to do some damage with the bat. He has a pull approach and plenty of natural lift in his swing.
