8/10/21

Physically imposing presence in the box at 6-foot-2, 200-pounds and put together. Aggressive approach in the box with middle of the field to pull direction and a top EV of 99mph. Loud contact. He had several barrels throughout his two games, highlighted by a no doubt bomb over the LCF wall. Also showed a more than serviceable skill set as a corner guy defensively.

2/21/21

Leewood Molessa: 1B/RHP, (2022) Williamstown, WV. 6-foot-2, 220-pound physical frame. In the box, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 91 mph.

7/08/20

Physical Right-handed hitter with strength in his swing. At third base he has fluid footwork and showed athleticism at the position moving well laterally to cover ground. Fields with soft hands throwing with a clean arm action through a ¾ slot reaching a velocity of 79 mph. Starts from an open stance using a leg leg kick to initiate fluid load in his lower half.

Max BP Distance: 263 ft
Field: Worked out over at first base. Has some feel for the spots with serviceable ball skills and above average lateral mobility.

7/10/19

Body Type: 6-foot-2, and 230-pound, physical frame.

2.24.19 - Offensively, the 6-foot-2, 240-pound primary First Baseman starts in a athletic, compact stance with his front knee turned in. He displayed a predominantly pull side approach, and found the barrel more times than not with loud contact. His hand work well within his swing.  A 88 mph exit velocity was recorded. On this day, a 7.81-laser timed 60 was also recorded.

Defensively, Molessa demonstrated solid footwork around the bag with good athleticism. A 74 mph positional velocity was recorded.

2/24/18 Extremely physical young player initiates swing from slightly open set up with stride to closed. Weight shift is passive followed by an aggressive hip turn. Early front knee lock lends to an uphill swing path. Molessa has middle of the order, power hitting run producer, potential as evidenced by recording advanced bat exit velocity of 86 mph for age.

Defensively, Hands are adequate while fielding ball bottom up and out front. Arm strength and range may predicate move to right side of infield.

On the mound works out of mid 3/4 arm slot with short arm action. Delivery shows considerable effort with some difficulty in repeating on this day. FB at 75-77 mph showed little movement. CB sat 61-63 flashing at best late, short 11-5 break. CH at 65-66 was inconsistently commanded.
