Patrick
Raiff

7/17/12
5-foot-8, 165-pound infield prospect. Registered a 7.07 60-yard dash. In the field, he uses short arm action through a ¾ arm slot with a top velocity of 73 mph. Likely projects as a second baseman. Needs to consistently attack the ball and play through it. At the plate, the left-handed hitter starts in a crouch. Shows excellent use of his lower half with good torque. Displays above average bat speed with good pull power in his bat.

The 5-foot-8, 165-pound prospect has a short, athletic build. He recorded a 7.12 time in the 60-yard dash. In the field, he registered 70 mph across the diamond with a long arm action and an over the top arm slot. He needs to continue to refine his fielding mechanics as he tended to show flat feet and the propensity to field the ball deep. At the plate, Raiff, who hits from the left side, showed a smooth, compact swing. His fast bat speed and explosive lower half generate powerful line drives to all fields.
