3/16/24
It would've been easy for the former Future Gamer to get frustrated last Saturday against Benton, as he wasn't given much to hit on the afternoon, but he delivered in a big way for the Chiefs when they needed it most. The Southeastern Louisiana recruit was intentionally walked in his first at-bat with a runner on 2nd and 2 outs, and was hit by a pitch in his second at-bat, before oppping up to the second baseman in his third at-bat. Laird then came to the plate in the bottom of the 8th with no one on and 1 out, to deliver a firm two-strike single back up the middle, and he would come around to score the winning run on Titus Williams game-winning double.

6/08/21

 

Positional Profile: MIF

Body: Athletic 5â��8â�� 145 lbs. frame with room to add strength.   

Hit: Starts in a wider and athletic stance with hands held at shoulder height.  Used a toe-tap load and stride, as well as a simple pick up and put down load and stride.  Front side was weak at times, however, for the most part, turned the barrel aggressively by driving his back knee through the ground to create power.  Hit to all fields. 

Power: 82 mph exit velocity.  More power to come. 

Arm:  Low release, short and quick arm action. 74 mph IF velocity.

Defense:  Liked his pre-pitch routine.  Athletic mover, caught everything clean and out front with soft hands. Made a nice bounder play, using two hands, to end his defensive round.  Definitely has a chance to stick at SS in the future. 

Run: Posted a 7.53 in the 60.
