Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Ira Rootman, HARVARD-WESTLAKE (CA), 2027
Positional Profile: OF 3 position OF defender who shows offensive impact from the RH side.
Body: 6-1, 173-pounds. Wiry athletic frame with wiry strength at present, but the frame to fill out.
Hit: RHH. Wider set up with slightly open stance from a crouch with hip hinge. Low elbow set up with hands forward of rear shoulder just above shoulder height with barrel laid back behind rear ear with a flatter angle. Small weight shift back with a toe tap and small stride forward into the launch position. Lands balanced at launch with hands loaded back to shoulder height and barrel tipped forward. Present quickness to his bat path and hands through the zone with ability to generate torque in the turn. Bat gets into the zone early with quickness while maintaining its path through the zone consistently while being on the barrel for contact. Swing path generates leverage for line drives and fly balls with carry.
Power: Presently shows slightly more hit than power with a middle of the field approach that has leverage and carry to the gaps for doubles, but shows ability to lift and drive the ball to pull side for HR carry.
Arm: RH. OF-87 mph. Smooth easy arm circle with depth out of the glove the in the backswing while showing quickness with extension and use of the body to project RF OF defensive potential.
Defense: Athletic with body control and good actions that moves well around the OF with CF/RF defensive profile.
ATH: Gets off the line with a quick first step staying low early in the run process allowing him to get to speed quickly. More of a short stride runner with quickness to his running process.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 6-1, 170-pounds.
Hit: RHH
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 84.4 mph. 321' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-81 mph.
ATH: 6.94 runner in the 60. 1.61 and 3.82 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 29.30 max vertical.
Ira Rootman, Harvard-Westlake (CA), 2027
Positional Profile: OF Rootman took on a starting role at powerhouse Harvard-Westlake and thrived.
Body: 6-1, 170-pounds. Mature and developed frame. Good athleticism
Hit: RHH. Wider open stance with bend in knees into the crouch position with hip hinge. Hands are set above shoulder height off the body around rear shoulder depth with lower back elbow and barrel tipped towards 3B dugout. Shifts weight into the back hip with a smaller foot lift and stride into the forward move to land at launch while using a barrel tip to load his hands. Gets down into back knee during the turn with good sequence throught using lower 1/2 effectively while getting rear shoulder to drive through contact. Path is direct to the ball with leverage through the zone and extension after contact into the finish.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 84.4 mph. 321' max distance. Consistent flatter path stays to line drive and hard ground ball contact. Barrel is generally accurate with doubles power to the middle of the field and HR power to the pull side. Shows ability to grow into more as he learns to lift ball more.
Arm: RH. OF-81 mph. Depth in the back swing of the throwing motion with a loose quick arm path that produces accurate throws with carry. Shows RF long term potential.
Defense: Quick to the ball moving laterally and downhill with good angles and clean footwork. Transfers are consistent and moves with confidence.
ATH: 6.94 runner in the 60. 1.61 and 3.82 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Gets low in the build portion of run with burst off the line before lengthening stride out to maintain speed with body control. 29.30 max vertical.
