Hankins

9/15/2016
A 6-foot-5, 230-pound, broad shoulders. Offensively, right-handed hitter, middle-pull approach, some strength. Wide base, slight squat, hands in front of shoulder, moderate stride, short to contact, good extension, quality leg drive. In-game 4.85 home-to-first. Hankins had a day to remember with a deep sac fly to center, 2 RBI double to dead center, a line drive right at the center fielder, and capped it off with a double in the left-center field gap that also plated a run.

A physically impressive 6-foot-6, 250-pound frame with strength throughout. Works from an abbreviated wind-up with rhythm. Arm action is full and loose, coming through an over the top slot. Fastball sits 78-80 mph with lots of downhill tilt, and looks to have more in the tank. Curveball show big 12/6 shape with gradual depth at 63-65 mph. In the game, Hankins kept hitters off balance by throwing both pitches for strikes consistently.Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from an open and upright set-up with some rhythm in his hands. Uses a big knee-knock load with a moderate stride, short to the ball with a slightly uphill path. In BP, shows a middle to pull approach with some pop and lift, mostly barrels. Exit velo of 80 mph. In the game, hit a sharp ground ball to short.
