Thomas
Kretzler

One of the best all-around players at our Burgh Showcase.  Showed average foot-speed, but above average power (88mph exit velocity) and arm strength (84mph from SS).  Hitting/Infield - Switch hitter, can spray it to gaps from both sides.  Starts open from both sides, but gets even with stride.  Drifts a bit towards the ball but keeps his hands inside.  Level bat path with lift and extension out front.  Head stays down on the ball, gets full hip rotation.  High balanced finish. Moves well from side to side in the infield, project-able corner infielder at the next level.  Circles well, and fields the ball out in front.  Shuffles through his throws.  Plus arm strength with carry.  Accurate on his throws.  Pitching - On the mound he uses a slower delivery, long straight back arm action, throws from an over-the-top slot, fastball has some depth, curveball shows 12/6 shape. Above average all around, and solid power from both sides of the plate.  Hard worker, fun player to watch.
