One of the more polished rounds of BP on the day belonged to C/RHP Sonny Marsalla (Woodstock). The switch-hitter works with a simple/repeatable stroke to the ball, remaining level-through the zone with a line-drive approach while consistently being on the barrel from both sides. He also displayed reliable hands behind the plate, framing pitches around the zone while working directionally out of the crouch.
Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 5-foot-2, 105-pounds.
Defense: 2.70-2.97 pop times. Fluid footwork, soft hands, clean exchange.
Arm: RH. C - 55 mph. INF - 54 mph. Short arm action, over-the-top slot, throws flash carry and accuracy.
Hit: SH. Tall narrow setup, even feet, minimal load, toe tap stride. Short level swin, gets extension after contact, line drive gap-to-gap approach.
Power: L-56 R-60 mph exit velocity from the tee.
Run: 5.39 home-to-first.Â
