Sonny Marsalla (Woodstock) is a switch-hitter who put together noteworthy rounds of BP from each side. It's a loose, compact swing from both sides with strength through contact and a feel to hit.

2/12/22

One of the more polished rounds of BP on the day belonged to C/RHP Sonny Marsalla (Woodstock). The switch-hitter works with a simple/repeatable stroke to the ball, remaining level-through the zone with a line-drive approach while consistently being on the barrel from both sides. He also displayed reliable hands behind the plate, framing pitches around the zone while working directionally out of the crouch.

Hit: SH. Tall narrow setup, even feet, minimal load, toe tap stride.  Short level swin, gets extension after contact, line drive gap-to-gap approach.
Power: L-56 R-60 mph exit velocity from the tee.
