1/12/14 Baranchak is an impressive looking athlete with significant athleticism. He is raw in most of his actions but he has a very physical 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame and room to make strides. Baranchak turned in a 4.50 home-to-1B time and displayed a 74 mph arm across the diamond. The right-handed hitter showcased a 90 mph bat exit velocity and the baseball exploded off his bat head at times. He hits from a slightly open stance and has a tendency to muscle the bat head through his swing, but his potential as a power hitting corner infielder or outfielder was evident.
