Jeffrey
Palczewski

The University at Buffalo commit has a lean athletic frame, a well above average high school arm and good speed. At the plate he sets up balanced with high hands and base outside shoulder width. His swing is compact and aggressive. Certainly does not get cheated at the plate as he ripped a few hard base hits on this day. Good tools across the board make Palczewski an attractive college ball player who could move just about anywhere on the field.

Athletic body frame of 5-foot-10-inches, 170-pounds. Aggressive fielding instincts with quick, smooth hands during receiving and transition. Great arm strength with carry to the target, high -3/4 arm slot with average range. Shows a good balanced setup with a slightly open front foot stance at the plate, smooth back load and short stride towards the pitch. Has long swing path through the hitting zone with full extension and some uphill tilt on the swing. Shows good projection as a hitter.

(Preseason All-State - Feb. 2015) Palczewski stands 5-foot-10, 170-pounds with a strong durable frame. He simply keeps getting better the more we see him, at the plate he shows an athletic swing, short path, consistent contact with slight incline plane, high finish. 85 mph exit velocity. Fielding he shows good reaction with his hands, fields low, slightly deep in his stance, clean transfer, throws from an over-the-top slot, 81 mph arm strength.  He ran a 6.97 60 yard dash.

(8/16/14) Palczewski stands 5-foot-10 165-pounds with an athletic build and frame to add 10-15 pounds more. At 3B he fields the ball in the middle of his body, clean transfer, gets the job done but needs more polish, has great athleticism confirmed by his 4.19 home to first time; long arm action and throws from a high ¾ slot, with arm strength at 78 mph. With an emphasis on arm strength and smoother actions he will be a lock down corner defender. At the plate his set up is weight back and hands high. On the pitch he uses a stride, short path to the ball, high contact hitter with a level bat path through the zone, balanced with a long extension through contact, shoulder height finish.

(6/21/14) Palczewski stands 5-foot-10 165-pounds and is a gamer. At 3B he moves well, a little stiff, but makes the plays with a clean accurate arm. His velocity across the field was 77mph which is solid for his age. He swings with a level bat through the zone with good gap to gap pop and with an 84 mph exit velocity off the tee. In the game he stroked a triple in the LF gap off an 83 mph fastball. He runs well, better then his home to first time suggest at 4.38.
