Unsigned Senior Spotlight: Catcher Brandon Lord (Henry Clay HS)

Brandon Lord, C, Henry Clay HS, 2015

Brandon Lord attended the Unsigned Senior Games on August 17 at Northern Kentucky University and impressed with both his offensive and defensive abilities.

The 6-foot-1, 160-pound senior doesn’t wow you with eye-popping arm strength at 71 mph, but he is fundamentally sound in his footwork with a quick transfer and release.  In the two events Lord has attended, his pop times have been consistently in the 2.05-2.12 range with his best checking in at 2.00.  He showed one of the most consistent arms at the Unsigned Senior Games event with all throws being accurate to the second base bag and shows good athleticism behind the plate.

After posting an 83 mph exit velocity and showing above average speed from the catcher position by running a 4.69-second home to first base time, Lord went to work offensively in game action.  He used his athleticism to beat out two infield singles, stroked a line drive single to center field, and doubled deep down the left field line in finishing with a 4-for-5 day at the plate.
