Jace LaViolette OF / 1B / Tompkins, TX / 2022Rankings OverallRank: 75 / POS: 16
LSU commit, Standing a towering 6-foot-5, 255-pounds is a physical presence at the plate. Had the ability to hit like he has for a while now. Laviollete has a wide base in the box, with a calm easy smooth rhythm into his load with a small leg lift. Has the ability to show off some power but on the day proved he is an all around hitter not just a pull side power hitter. |
