Owen Franciscus: SS/RHP, (2027) Lebanon High School, OH. 5-foot-5, 115-pound athletic build. (51.3 mph bat speed average). (17.2 mph hand speed average). Begins in a tall balanced stance with a controlled load, then uses a controlled small leg kick. Has quick bat speed, short swing plane and good extension on his finish. Had some loud contact and found some barrels. Gap to gap approach. Confident while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 68 mph; has sure hands, a natural exchange, and fluid feet. Movements laterally were athletic and he fields the ball out front. Showed consistent accuracy to the bag with athletic slot and a short quick arm action. Recorded a time of 8.28 in the 60-yard dash. Smooth on the mound, showed good arm speed with a high ¾ arm angle and a clean arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses some effort. Showed athletic balance point and even in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. (Max spin 1822; Avg 1766).
