Thatcher Dietz: C/OF, (2023) Westerville South, OH.
5-foot-11, 180-pound athletic frame. Raw during batting practice, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 78 mph. Began in an athletic open stance with a small load, then used a leg kick. Bat speed is some and uses a flat swing plane. In the round he found some barrels. Opposite field approach. Movements laterally were athletic. Behind the plate, he made throws to second at velocities up to 66 mph; had a developing exchange, sure hands, and athletic footwork. He produced a pop time of 2.37-2.53. Showcased some flexibility. Clocked a 60 time of 7.7 at the event.
2/16/20 Position Player
Hit: Starts in a balanced setup from the right side. Goes with a double tap timing trigger during slight back load to hands. Level path with slightly more strength than speed to hands, although both tools are apparent. Ball flight varied from ground to ceiling in BP.
Power: Top batting practice exit velocity was 85.2 and he reached a top batting practice distance of 234 feet.
Offensive Projection: Multiple Roles.
Field: Registered pop times ranging between 2.27-2.31. Showed flexibility to hips, smoother actions out of the crouch with exchange
skills on par for class. Pop times will decrease as arm strengthens.
Throw: Showed 63 mph arm strength to second base.
Defensive Projection: C.
