Lovell had a stellar day going 3-for-3 with two RBIs to help the Canes against DTA. Lovell presents a physical 6-foot, 175-pound frame. Offensively, he has a spread out and athletic stance, loose hands and a short trigger. He has a simple approach and is looking to do damage in the box. Defensively he made some athletic plays, showing clean actions while working around the ball.
Stands in a 6-foot, 175-pound frame with strength throughout. Started behind the plate and batted seventh. Right-handed hitter, has some power in the bat, showed above-average bat speed with an uphill path, looks to elevate the baseball to the middle/pull-side of the field. Steady hands behind the plate with a strong arm on throws to second base in-between innings. A catcher to know in the state’s freshman class.
C/RHP Hudson Lovell (Morton, 2027) was another impressive two-way prospect whose arrow is pointing up after this event. Lovell moves athletically at 6-foot, 175-pounds both on the mound and behind the dish. On the bump, he worked his fastball in the 82-85 mph range (T85.7), with life and ride through the zone (avg 18.6” IVB). Lovell complemented his fastball with a big-breaking 11/5 curveball that landed in the zone at 62-65 mph, and a changeup that played in the upper-60s with occasional arm-side fade. His arsenal played better out of the stretch overall, but Lovell looks to be an arm to keep tabs on moving forward. On the other side of the ball, the right-handed hitter flashed some upside in his right-handed swing, reaching up to 91 mph for his max EV with a max distance of 332’; also displaying well above-average BLAST metrics with an average hand-speed of 22.2 mph (T23.5 mph), average bat-speed of 75.7 mph (T78 mph) and average rotational acceleration of 20.1 G’s (T26.3 G’s). He also impressed behind the plate, reaching as low as 2.06 for his pop-time with a max velocity of 78 mph with easy life out of the hand and carry.
