Scouting Report
+ 11/1/14 - 6-foot-1, 170-pound prospect with a good height and a lanky frame that should fill out. The right-handed hitting catcher starts with a spread stance, toe tap stride, good lower torque, level swing path, shows line drive ability, 79 mph exit velocity, ran 4.91 home to first time, went 1-for-4 in game play. Flashes a quick arm behind the plate with consistent accuracy, 1.91-2.03 pop time, short arm action with a ¾ arm slot, 73 mph arm velocity, quick, natural defensive instincts, soft hands, good lateral movement. Size, and skill level give Hagenow good upside, and should continue to develop into a top 2017 prospect.
