6-foot, 175-pound, strong, athletic frame. At shortstop, Loftin showed advanced actions all around with fluid footwork, clean exchanges in the midline of his body, and good arm-action with clean release, carry and accuracy at 82 mph. Loftin had excellent range during both the workout and game portion of the event and showed the ability to throw form different arm slots and play on the run. Offensively, the right-handed hitter starts from a neutral stance and pushes back into a smooth leg kick while moving his hands with rhythm. Lands athletically at foot-strike and has good weight transfer in his lower half. He took a solid batting practice and barrelled up balls to the pull side some power. With his awareness, savvy and ability to take care of the baseball, Loftin is a player for college recruiters to watch this spring.
