Solid athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds. Wider square base at the plate, simple short stride, and hands load back in rhythm. Short quick flat path through the zone, consistent line drive approach, and swung with intent. Finished lower half completely. In the infield had a slow controlled approach, glove presented out front, and average hands to catch. Low centered exchange, full arm action, and throws from a higher three-quarter arm slot. Positional velocity was 74 mph. Ran a 7.72 60.
NOVA Fall Review 9/22/18
Hopkins is 6-2 with an athletic frame that has plenty of projection left to it. Hits from the right side from a balanced athletic stance, short stride on line, short load back to a wrap, hips rotate completely with violence, he maintains some balance during his swing. Short to ball, slightly uphill swing path, has some batspeed and strength at contact, showed a pull preference, exit velocity was 82. At short, gets body behind ball and fields with avergae hands and a wider base, works through the ball and throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, position velocity was 69.
