Gaspard

Super utility-man 2022 INF/RHP Jackson Gaspard (Buford) stood out on the first two days up the middle, making routine plays and turning multiple double plays. He showed good instincts, soft hands and enough arm strength to stick on the left-side of the infield. On the mound, his arm works athletically and loose to a ¾ slot. Fastball played at 83-85, touching 86 (2300rpm). Good feel for a 12/6 curveball with depth, threw for strikes and induced swings and misses with.

6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitting utility-player, athletical build with room for physicality, has the ability to play virtually every position on the field, and to a high degree. Offensively, balanced setup, short stride, high hands smoothly drop on load, remains balanced throughout contact, one-handed finish. Gap-to-gap type hitter, barrel works smoothly uphill through the zone, little effort in swing, 86 exit velocity off a tee. Ran a 7.28 laser-timed 60. Defensively, short arm action, high ¾ slot, quick arm speed and loose wrist, 76 out of the crouch. Athletic setup, quick on transfers with fluid footwork, gets rid of it in a hurry, recorded a best pop time of 2.02. Up the middle, arm works loosely from a ¾ slot, plenty of strength to stick on the left-side, 83 across the infield. Smooth actions, soft glove hand, approaches with fluid footwork fielding out front, funnels into midsection. On the mound, long arm action, over-the-top slot, full arm swing on the back-side showing low, quick arm speed, repeats. Drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square, finishes upright. Fastball sat 82-83, touched 85. Curveball, 12/6 shape, depth with late bite, swing and miss pitch, 66-68. Cutter, tight spin and horizontal movement, 79-81.
