Mitchell
Martin

Martin stands in at 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Offensively- Lefty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet shoulder width apart. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat above the back shoulder using no pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a knee raise in to stride forward while his hands move back and down slightly into his hitting position. Good lower body rotation getting hips cleared and using whole body frame in swing process. Shows quick hands to the hitting zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated line drive ability up the middle and to the opposite field during batting practice round. Recorded an exit velocity of 81 MPH. Shows a good inside-out swing and will need to work on pitches middle-in, getting the barrel out in front of the hitting zone. Defensively- Moves well to the baseball with a good approach and footwork. Gets underneath and shows a good transition from catch to the throwing position gaining ground throughout the process of the throw. Could follow through more to finish the throw. Was accurate and moves well left/right and on the run. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 73 MPH.
