Gabe
Springer

6-foot-1, 185-pound shortstop has speed and athleticism that translates on both sides of his game. The switch hitter is balanced at the plate with a middle of the field approach and can hit for average with the power continuing to enter his game. The athleticism and actions are evident at short. It’s a well-rounded game from the Stanford commit right now who does a lot of things right on the field.

Springer paced the Slammers Asnicar offense all weekend en route to a runner-up finish. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound shortstop has a wiry-athletic frame with plenty of room to add strength in both the upper and lower-half. Listed as a switch-hitter, his at-bats came exclusively from the left side in my looks, but it was more than enough to cement him as one of the breakout players from the event. Starting upright and narrow with the hands held high, he separates them down and back with a longer stride before working noticeably uphill through the zone. Springer worked gap to gap for multiple extra-base hits demonstrating an ability to utilize the entire field. His loose wrists and quick provide bat speed and developing power that are sure to increase as he continues filling out. He moved well on the infield (until an injury forced him into DH duty), and profiles as a player who can play any position on the dirt moving forward. Overall, the projection on the frame and relaxed athleticism that he exhibits at the plate make Springer an intriguing player for college coaches to follow moving forward.
