Uncommitted Spotlight: Dane Thorpe
June 11, 2021
Scouting Report: Thorpe is a brute, strong 6-1, 190 receives well behind the plate. Hits an arm velo of 80 behind the dish and 82 from the OF, and produced exit speeds as high as 95.6 in BP. He showed a semi wide open stance, and his front knee/foot is synced well with his hands as he lifts his front foot and from a flat set of the bat, he turns the barrel to a 45 into the load phase, then softly lands the front foot and takes a short powerful compact stroke into a powerful two hand around the back shoulder finish. Athletic for a catcher and can play multiple positions, to get him out of the crouch and keep him athletic
