Top Profiles of 2020: No. 7 Landon Russell
December 27, 2020
We continue our countdown of the Top Profiles of 2020 with '22 SS/RHP Landon Russell (Russell County) who comes in at No. 7. Russell is the #1 ranked player in the Alabama 2022 class and is also ranked #118 nationally across the country. Russell is an Auburn commitment.
The 6-0 175 pound junior is a true two way talent as he shows several "plus" skills in his game. The quick twitch athlete shows plenty of speed speed as he has been as low as 6.71 in the 60 while also throwing 90 mph across the diamond from SS. Russell has power to all fields as evidenced by his 90 mph exit velocity at the plate. If that isn't enough, the RHP can also jump on the mound and shows a solid three pitch arsenal with complimentary secondary stuff to his upper 80's fastball that also bumps 90 mph on occasion. As you can see, there is a lot to like with Landon Russell.
