Spitznagel

12/1/12
5-foot-11, 170-pound infielder best suited for second base. Good baseball sense type player who ran a good 7.01 60-yard dash. Shows good infield skills with hands and feet but more right side guy on next level with 74 mph arm strength. Could be possible outfield type as well. Hits from crouch. Has good bat speed into zone from shoulder trigger. Squares ball well with good hand finish. Needs more consistent lower body torque. 

Spitznagel projects as a second baseman at the next level. In the field, he shows average to soft hands. Using a short arm action, he threw a consistent and accurate 73-74 mph from shortstop. At the plate, the left-handed hitting prospect using a short, compact swing with a slight-uphill bat path. At times, he shows a heavy front side and tendency to dive into the pitch. He registered a 7.02 60-yard dash on a slow track, but has shown 6.8 speed at prior events.

5-foot-11, 165-pound prospect with high motor. Registered a 7.1 60-yard dash. Shows good middle infield skills with hands and feet. Reached a top velocity of 74 mph across the infield. Projects best as a second baseman. Uses a low hand trigger in swing. Shows a solid line drive type from the left side. Needs to continue to incorporate lower half to increase power.
