Brady
Weaver

8/26/17

5-foot-11, 190-pound right-handed hitter sets up slightly open and initiates swing with short stride staying open. Hands are quick and work directly to the baseball. Bat is on plane throughout and spends considerable time in hitting zone. There is solid balance, posture, hip turn and leverage to swing. There is some backward hip sway in load with associated head movement. Separation could be improved by incorporating a more aggressive weight shift as well as working back elbow up and back in load. Swing played to consistent squaring of baseball in batting practice and an 89 mph bat exit velocity.

Defensively, excellent blocking technique with solid upper body angle was demonstrated. Weaver also flashed good lateral agility and soft hands in framing. Feet were quick with transfer being slightly long in achieving at top pop time of 2.09.

7.6.16 - Athletic frame at 5-foot-10, 185-pounds. Hits from an athletic square set up at the plate. Smooth double tap load at the plate. Short swing, quick hands with some extension. Shows nice rhythm throughout and balance in swing. Has clean exchange behind the plate with short arm action. Slight pause in throwing motion that could get pop time down as he smoothens out. Throws are accurate to the bag. Nice hip control behind plate. Pop times ranged from 2.21-2.28 with a velocity of 71 from behind the dish.
