C/3B August Besemer (Pinnacle, 2024)
6-foot-1 190 pounds. (Running) 8.12 runner in the 60 yard. (Offense) RH. Max EV 84. Max Dist 293. Narrow set up in stance, slight bend in the knees, hands held low with vertical bat angle. Stride is direct to pitcher, gets him in a strong hitting position. Lacks a timing mechanism, slightly late, seems to be rushed at times. Front foot lands open with stride and creates some early hip action. When on time has some strength and ability to drive to gaps. Best contact was to the middle of the field with line drive flight. (Defense) C. RH. C velo 73. 1.9-2.01 pop times. Throws from a ¾ slot, ball has some 2 seam flight to 2B. Misses were up the line due to throwing mechanics/body positioning. Getting in more of a square position to target and staying in legs could create more flight on the ball and consistency on the target. IF velo 79. Narrow feet while fielding balls at him, widening feet will put him in a more adjustable position and increase ability to read hops. Glove has some potential, has some give into the body while fielding. Arm will play from the left side. Projects on the corners.
