Demitrovic

Demitrovic stands in at 5-foot-8, 150-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Offensively- Righty shows quick hands with an efficient swing. Has a level barrel path and uses good lower body rotation getting the whole body involved in the swing. Demonstrated good plate coverage making solid contact driving the ball to all fields consistently. Will benefit from added strength and development. Recorded an exit velocity of 80 MPH, 2 MPH shy of his best recorded mark of 82 MPH this summer at the St. Bonaventure Campus Series in July 2017. Defensively- Good footwork and approach getting underneath the baseball. Quick transition from glove to the throwing hand with a good outfielder arm swing. Shows aggressive footwork coming through the baseball on the throw. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 73 MPH, 3 MPH shy of his summers best 76 MPH set at the Canisius Series Event in July 2017. Pitching- Righty gets good separation with a good drive down the mound. Features a high ¾ release point using his whole-body frame during the process of the delivery. Fastball range was 71-72 MPH and peaked at 73 MPH with arm side run. Curveball range was 62-63 MPH and showed tight 12/6 spin that was consistent in the strike zone.

Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding his bat just above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. Utilizes good lower body rotation getting whole body frame involved with the swing. Has quick hands to the hitting zone with a level bat path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Like his round at Canisius & St. Bonaventure, Demitrovic demonstrated good plate coverage with line drive ability up the middle and to the pull side. Recorded an exit velocity of 79 MPH, 3 MPH shy than his recorded 82 MPH at the St. Bonaventure event. Defensively- Continues to show a good approach and footwork to get to the baseball. Shows a good crow hop and outfielder arm swing making aggressive strides towards the throwing target. Was accurate with the throws and moved well left/right. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 72 MPH, 4 MPH shy of his recorded best 76 MPH at Canisius. Pitching- Righty sets up in the middle of the rubber with a simple side step into a high leg lift above the hip crease. Breaks down well with good separation getting into his throwing position. Better with the release and follow through as seen in the past event with clean mechanics and accurate with pitches. Fastball peaked at 75 MPH with a 74-75 MPH range showing good arm side run. Curveball showed good 12/6 action and could spot well for a strike. Curveball was in 65-66 range. Change-up showed arm side sink and was 67-68 MPH.
