Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Cale Hackenberg: C/3B, (2027) Marcellus, MI. 5-foot-10, 160-pound. (64.5 mph bat speed average). (19.9 mph hand speed average). Began in an open tall stance with a quick load, then used a quick controlled stride. He created some loud contact and found multiple barrels. Behind the plate, his best recorded velocity during throw downs was clocked at 69 mph. Projectable while in the infield, made throws up to 70 mph; had developing athletic footwork, a natural exchange, and consistent developing hands. Fielded the ball out front with average movement laterally. Behind the plate, he produced a position velocity of 69 mph during throw downs; recorded a pop time of 2.03-2.07. (Max spin ; Avg ).
