Zach
Runk

2.15.15 Hit from a balanced/athletic stance that was slightly open. Had a smooth load back with the hands. Took a short stride to the pitcher and stayed on line and showed balance in the swing. Had a very confident presence at the plate. Showed average bat speed (79 mph Exit Velo). Had a short/level stroke that was gap-gap. The rhythm was inconsistent at times, but when fluid, showed the ability to hit with some flick. In the field, threw from a high ¾ arm slot with a short, loose arm action with accuracy. Played through the baseball with average hands, clean footwork, and quick/clean transitions. Showed average arm strength with a Positional Velocity of 71 mph.

2.15.15 Runk has an athletic frame and throws from a low three-quarters slot. He has a long, loose arm action. He throws with drop and drive mechanics, his shoulders are downhill and online, and he strides a bit closed before falling off slightly after he finishes. Runk’s fastball had late sinking action to it and ran 70-73 mph. He threw a gradual 10/4 breaking slider that was 58-60 mph. His change-up was thrown with decent armspeed and ran 61-64 mph. Runk’s fastball command was good but had inconsistent command with his secondary pitches.
