Backus

6-foot, 190-pound, thick, solid athletic frame, lover half is strong. A right-handed hitting third baseman. The stance is slightly wider than shoulder width, hands are set above shoulders with back elbow extended outward. The swing is level to up, has gap power, more to pull side approach. The tee exit velocity was 85 mph, has some life in his hands. In game performance was good collected two hard hit base hits. Defensively, hands are soft and work well with his feet. There is no wasted movement from fielding the ball to the transfer. The arm action is average length, clocked at 76 mph, started the feeds well at second. Showed a good pro move on the slow roller. At times gets unbalanced, leans over his waist instead of using legs more. Looks to be tough at third, wants the baseball hit to him.
