Grip Strgth (LH)
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.

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.
Prep Baseball All-American Game: Franco works out of a wide, square base with some fluctuations in stride, mixing a small leg trigger in at times. Steep swing path creates natural loft with above-average bat speed behind it that creates solid pull-side power when timed up. Broad shouldered, Projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame will continue to fill out, and could lead to even more power potential. Good barrel control and plate coverage, especially from the swing path that will show above-average bat-to-ball skills. Athleticism to play throughout the outfield but has the chance for a plus glove at first base with excellent flexibility and soft hands.
