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.
Owen Palmer: SS/RHP, (2025) Nonnewaug, CT. 6-foot, 205-pound athletic strong frame. Above average projectable at the plate, Palmer clocked an exit velocity of 92 mph. (67.3 mph bat speed average). (19.9 mph hand speed average). Begins in an athletic balanced stance with a smooth rhythmic load, then uses a short controlled stride. Bat speed is electric, uses a simple loose swing plane and high finish. Barreled up multiple balls with tons of loud contact. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Above average while in the infield, made throws up to 79 mph; has soft hands, a clean exchange, and athletic smooth feet. Laterally, movements were developing and fielded the ball out front. Used a short loose arm action and a high ¾ slot while showing consistent accuracy to the base. Recorded a time of 7.3 in the 60-yard dash. Solid on the mound, showing quick arm speed he used a short loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall stretch only type pitcher and uses easy effort.
