07.22.17 - 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame. The right-handed hitter starts from a tall, athletic stance. Smooth load back as he coils his hips with a knee-to-knee, low-hanging leg kick to replace his stride foot. Quick, explosive hips as he rotates to contact with a front arm bar and a high finish, creating lift and carry. Although he has a longer path, Hurtado used the whole field during batting practice, producing hard contact from the right-center gap to pull side with an exit velocity of 85 mph off the tee, and more potential power in the future. Behind the plate, Hurtado has average hands with quick footwork, average exchange into a long arm stroke with some effort from a ¾ slot. Pop times were 2.13-2.22 with a 74 mph velocity from the crouch.
