Derek Hughes is a 2019 C/ with a 6-1 170 lb. frame from Raleigh, NC who attends Ravenscroft HS. Recorded a 7.69 second 60-yard dash time. Medium frame with a projectable build and broad shoulders indicative of future strength gains. Primary catcher with accurate throws and solid arm strength recorded up to 76 mph. Good carry from a long lower half and clean transfers. Room to fill and good fundamental feel for the position. Righthanded hitter with a leg lift trigger into contact. Fluid swing path from a spread open batting stance. One handed and long finish and can create good carry on fly balls to the outfield. Creates hard hit contact to all fields from a simple, contact-oriented approach. Hands stay close to the body and can improve power potential with a more linear weight shift. Great student.
