Scout Blog: Lanier vs Gainesville
March 24, 2023
2024, OF, Baxter Wright, Gainesville
6-foot-1 180-pounds. Wright has been the starting QB for the powerhouse football program the last 2 years. He has the ideal QB1 frame that is strong and athletic, and everything translates to the baseball field. He is an outfielder and catcher, and I imagine he is strong defensively behind the plate. I look forward to getting a look at him there before the season is over. The swing is simple and athletic, and produced 3 hits against Lanier. He stands strong in his stance, and has an easy load that produces a ton of strength. I really like the way he loads into the back hip to get into his power position. Wright will be one to watch the next couple of years.
Good swing from ‘24 Baxter Wright (@bigred_basebal) to lead off the 5th.
