Aidan
Lawrence

8/25/18 - 5-foot-10, 145-pounds, lean lanky body type and a good young athlete, still developing strength that will enhance his tools in the coming couple of years. Older brother Connor Lawrence is a top 2019 player (catcher, Tennessee commit) in the region and two-time Area Code participant. The run tool stands out most prominently for Lawrence at this time, with above average speed down the line and plus speed underway. Showed bat speed and some twitch in the hitting metric station, indicating that as he gets stronger there is more to come with the bat. Hits from a tall stance and showed balance, though with some hip drift that tends to speed up the pitch. Will need to develop a more consistent approach and timing to the fastball. Defensively has an overhand slot as an infielder, good transfer of ball from glove to hand, there is some life out of the hand and perhaps a bit lower slot would create a little more looseness of his arm stroke (older brother has a plus arm, so perhaps he will evolve similarly). Calm and clean infield footwork. Will be an interesting player to see this coming spring.
