Anthony Groner: LHP/OF, (2027) Canfield, OH. 6-foot-2, 170-pound. (63.6 mph bat speed average). (18.0 mph hand speed average). Started in a wide stance with a small load, then used a short stride. Bat speed is developing, has a level swing plane and a front foot finish. He found multiple barrels during his round. Pull side up the middle approach. In the outfield, his best throws to the infield topped out at 85 mph. Projectable on the mound, used a quick compact arm action with an over-the-top arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who uses easy effort. Showed tall strong balance point and uphill shoulders. Lands square with a falling off finish. (Max spin 2070; Avg 1919).
High upside - two way prospect who just got down showing off the hit tool. Middle of the lineup traits with a loud round that generated consistent barrels from gap to gap. Going to be fun to see him progress as he fills out that highly projectable 6-foot-2 frame.
Anthony Groner: LHP/OF, (2027) Canfield, OH. 6-foot-2, 165-pound. (63.8 mph bat speed average). (18.1 mph hand speed average).

Has a strong balance point and downhill shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. (Max spin 1992; Avg 1804).
Anthony Groner: LHP/OF, (2027) Canfield, OH. 6-foot-2, 165-pound. (61.0 mph bat speed average). (18.5 mph hand speed average). Starts in a balanced quiet stance with a tight load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed was efficient, showed a loose uphill swing plane and a back foot finish. Solid in the infield, had a live arm with throws that topped out at 87 mph; showed sure hands, a natural exchange, and consistent feet. Fielded the ball out front with athletic movement laterally. Had a quick arm action with a high ¾ slot. In the 60-yard dash, recorded a time of 7.46. On the mound, showed consistent arm speed, he had a high ¾ arm angle and a loose arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Showed slight running action. (Max spin 2195; Avg 2063). Has gradual action on his 2/8 curveball. (Max spin 2177; Avg 2079).Â
