Alec Rath is a 2019 RHP/3B with a 6-0 175 lb. frame from La Palma, CA who attends Servite HS. Medium frame with a lean, athletic build. Frame projects for additional strength. Ran a 7.63 sixty yard dash. Primary right handed pitcher with a short rock step to leg kick delivery. Gather well at balance point and stays tall on backside. Utilizes lower half well while generating good push from back leg to the plate. Creates good downhill plane and direction to the plate while carrying momentum through finish. Front foot lands slightly closed, but clear hips well while rotating to finish. Releases from a three-quarters arm slot with a quick arm action through the zone. Good riding life with fastball that comes out of hand cleanly topping at 84 mph. Maintains arm speed with curveball that has 9/5 shape with solid late depth and bite down in the zone. Flashed a straight changeup with good arm speed that was very deceptive to hitters in the mid 70's. Showed good command of the zone pitching to each edge of the plate and challenging hitter in. Right handed hitter with an open stance and high leg lift trigger. Direct, compact hand path to contact with a line drive plane through extension. Swings with intent to drive the baseball into the outfield gaps. Shows solid bat speed with strength when front side trigger is on time. Good follow. Very good student. Tools will continue to develop with maturity and repetition.
