Jonah
Richardson

Physical: Powerful 6-foot, 190lb frame with two way feel. 7.88 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Even, upright stance, as the hands operated lower to start under the shoulder. Utilized a leg hang stride to initiate the swing through a violent, slightly uphill path with eye popping rotational acceleration. One-handed whippy finish on the backside, as the bat-speed flashed at the front of the plate. Recorded a T93 mph bat-exit velocity and posted a 335 foot distance on his best blast. Peppered the pull-side gap with loft in the approach and stayed connected to the ground. 

Defensively: The third baseman made the full array of plays, handling himself with composure on the run. Bent down in the lower half with good posture and showed off pace across the diamond from a ¾ slot (86 mph arm, accurate). Gives confidence that he can handle either corner position down the road.

Pitching: RHP - THe righty begins from the middle of the rubber; lots of loose pace, repeats. High tempo down the slope, as the FB held 83-84 mph, arm-side run. Mixed a hard-sweeping 70-71 mph SL for swing/miss and diving 74-76 mph CH that showed flashes.  

Physical: 6-foot-0, 180 pounds; Broad shouldered, athletic build. 7.72 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; upright bat position. Loads straight back with an exaggerated leg kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 89 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while quick first step. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot.   INF - 75/79 MPH. At first base, Richardson uses his athleticism to his advantage and bounces off the bag quickly and fields out in front. Maintains a short arm action and throws from a low to standard 3/4 slot.

Pitching: Richardson uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has aLong stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing that is effortless with fluidity, while working through a standard 3/4 slot. Recoils with finish. FB: Peak velo of 83 MPH, while sitting 80-82 MPH; commands both sides. CB: 69-71 MPH; showed depth. CH: 72-74 MPH; fading action.
