Lidenko is a 5-foot-7, 172 pound prospect. The right-handed hitting outfielder had an exit velocity of 82 mph off the tee. The set-up is athletic, with the hands creating good rhythm pre-pitch. The hands remain quiet as the bat heads into the hitting zone. He takes a direct path to and through the zone. The simplicity of his swing creates a lot of solid contact in the middle of the field.
Defensively, he was 68 mph from the outfield. The feet were deliberate as he worked to get into the fielding position. As he approached the ball, he slowed down nicely to get into the fielding position. The glove is relaxed out front. He transitioned well to the throwing position and the arm-swing is clean. He creates a good line with the target and stays through his throws.
