Notes

2/12/17
6-foot-1, 195-pound frame. A left-handed bat with a lot of tools to work with. Rutherford has a fast bat with impressive strength through contact. Swings with intent and doesn’t get cheated on any of his hacks. Was at his best when he worked to the middle of the field, producing backspin to center and left field. In the outfield he moves light on his feet and fields through the baseball cleanly. Possesses well above average arm strength to home plate. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound senior showed two-way potential. He was previously committed to Marshall, but recently reopened his recruitment. On the mound, he starts with his feet straight to home plate and uses a big, deliberate leg kick - temporarily pausing his momentum towards the plate. His fastball shows cutting action at 84-85 mph. His breaking ball had 2/7 shape at 71-73 mph. When he missed, he missed to the arm side. He also showed a changeup at 74-76 mph that had similar movement to his fastball.

60 Yard Dash: 7.3
OF Velocity: 87
Exit Velo (Wood Bat): 92


6/7/16
A talented two-way prospect with a 6-foot-1, 190-pound athletic, muscular frame. Impressively built prospect that looks the part. At the plate he starts in a balanced setup from the left side. Creates efficient energy into contract with his lower half through a leg kick load and aggressive stride. Has a fluid load with his hands before getting through the zone on a slightly uphill path. Has tons of batspeed to go along with his advanced strength. Power potential. Registered an exit velocity of 96 mph and ran a 7.15 60-yard dash. In the outfield he starts with very aggressive footwork before slowing down to ensure clean fielding of the ball. Would like to see him trust his glove and maintain momentum into his throws. Threw to home plate with 83 mph arm strength with much more in the tank. Projects as a corner outfielder or even a possible first baseman to save his arm if he continues to work off the mound at the next level. Left handed prospect that shows choppy rhythm on the mound. Delivery seems to be max effort. Lands on line at foot strike with good direction to the plate. Shows a little stiffness in his arm action. Short back arm action into a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 80-85 mph. Curveball sat 67-73 mph with sharp 2/8 break. Changeup is thrown with near fastball arm speed at 72 mph.

2/21/16
6-foot-1, 185-pound athletic build and possible two-way prospect. Left-handed hitter that is spread out and balanced. Good fluid load to get his hands back. Swing is flat thru the zone with 92 mph exit velocity and ran 4.51 home to first. In the outfield he needs to utilize more of crow hop after fielding the ball. Good exchange and throws from a high-3/4 slot with 82 mph arm strength. On the mound he has a slow tempo delivery that pauses at his balance point. Good direction at foot strike. Throws from a high-3/4 slot with fastball sitting 81-83 mph with good arm side run to it. Spins a breaking ball with late action and 1/7 tilt at 69-71 mph. Showed good arm speed on his changeup with arm side run and sink at 73-74 mph.
