Event Rewind: JR PA State Games - 1B/RHP Zane Pacek (Knoch)

 

Physical: Standout 6-foot-10, 240lb build with ultra-projection. 8.82 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Wider, straight-legged stance, as the hands begin upright at the shoulder. Utilized a small lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path towards a balanced finish. Tons of feel in the box with clean sequencing in the lower-half. Produced efficient bat-speed and a T90 mph exit (85 mph AVG). Deepest blast went 328 feet via Trackman.

Defensively: The primary first baseman showed some feel around the bag with bouncy feet and limited range. Fielded in the center of his body while turning the hips for an 81 mph arm-strength across the dirt.

Pitching: RHP. Starts off the middle of the rubber; developing pace that works top-to-bottom from a H ¾ slot, some downhill. FB ranged 78-81 mph with heavy action, mixing a short low-70’s CB and fading 67-69 mph CH (1224).
