Joshua
Dyer

01.21.17
5-foot-11, 170-pound, strong frame. The switch hitter has good hands and advanced feel for the barrel from both sides of the plate. From the right side, he starts from a slightly crouched stance with a flat bat. Easy rhythm to get started with a short stride. Slight hip-slide as he transfers his weight to his front side. Dyer has a short hand path to attack the inside part of the ball, good extension and loose finish through contact. From the left side, Dyer has a slightly different hand position with a more open stance. He still has a similar crouch set-up with good flex in his knees and fluid rhythm. Repeatable swing with a short path and the barrel stays in the zone a long time. Line-drive approach during batting practice from both sides. Exit velocity off the tee from the left side was 86 mph. From the right side, his exit velocity was 82 mph. At shortstop, Dyer shows solid rhythm playing through the baseball with fluid footwork and a mid-line exchange. Has a feel for playing on the run and does a nice job of gaining ground before and during his throws, with a velocity of 77 mph across the infield. Dyer ran a 7.56 60-yard dash.

Although his primary position is middle infield, from the outfield Dyer shows fluid footwork and rhythm through the ball throwing 76 mph with accuracy.
