Scouting Report
VA Top Prospect Games 6/19/18
Akers is 6-7 with a lanky frame that has plenty of projection left to it. Hits from the right side from an athletic open stance. Good rhythm, strides on line and loads back. Hips rotate fully with some explosion, slightly uphill swing path with some whip in his bat, generates batspeed with an easy swing. Showed good approach, working gap to gap, ball carries off his bat, exit velocity was 88. At first, gets body behind the ball and fields with average hands. Throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot, infield velocity was 75.
