Scouting Report

PBR Future Games (August 4-6, 2016)
Hohenstein has a sturdy build at 6-foot-1 200-pounds. Showcased well offensively and on the mound. Ran a 7.76 60. Offensively- LH bat, uses a big leg kick to start swing. Hands stay stagnant and locked just above shoulder. Had several extra base hits in game play, including a long towering triple to deep CF. Generates power with hips and quick hands. Defensively- played the OF for Team NY/NJ. Throws were accurate with some arm side run at 84 mph. Pitching-  standing 6-foot-0, 200-pouinds. Hohenstein had an impressive outing using his 85-87 mph fastball, that showed late jump and depth. Uses a quick pace to his delivery, opens his lower half up some early but it doesn't seem to effect his command or velocity. Uses a shorter arm-action from a mid-3/4 slot, curveball had tight spin with late 11/5 shape. Competes when he gets the ball.
