AJ
Brotz

Physical: Lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 165-pound frame with some strength present in the actions. 7.01 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Open, bent stance with plenty of movement in the setup and the hands deep at the shoulder.. Utilized a slight move backward coupled with a toe tap stride for the timing mechanism. Entered the hitting zone with some pull in the barrel head creating loft through a slightly uphill path. Worked primarily to the LF line while hitting into a stiff front side. Demonstrated ability to repeat the actions in the box. Recorded a 91 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball during batting practice. 

Defensively: Stood out defensively with perfect posture while fielding with a low center of gravity and weight over the front side allowing for downhill momentum through the fielding window. A soft glove hand played through the ball and contributed to the overall theme of playing at a quick pace in the middle. Smooth transfers and an accurate high arm-slot generated consistent 4.0 sec plays across the diamond with enough arm strength to stay on the left side of the infield moving forward. SS - 81 mph
