Crusaders Workout (February 10, 2018)

Bartziokas is a 5-foot-11 171 pound SS/RHP with a solid frame. He ran a 7.36 60 and a recorded a Home to 1st time of 4.25. Offensively - He sets up with an even stance from the left side, hands positioned near his back shoulder. Utilizes a toe tap into the load phase of his swing. Attacks the baseball with his lower half, but gets a little out in front which causes an imbalance of his weight shift. Exit velocity was 82 MPH off the tee. Demonstrated the ability to get the barrel on the ball and use the middle of the field. Be conscious of keeping hands inside the baseball, which will prevent ‘armbar’ at contact. Defensively - Upright setup with active footwork to the ball; continue to work on momentum  through the ball and fielding hands out in front; infield velocity was 75 MPH. May project towards 2B/3B over long term. Pitching - Sets up toward the right side of the mound, quick pace with long arm from a 3/4 slot. Max FB was 77 MPH, sitting 74-76 MPH. CH 68-69 and CB 63-66 MPH. Showed the ability to stay down in the zone with all his pitches, some mechanical fixes will go a long way. Good base to work from on the mound.
