James
Hugland

6-foot, 185 pound athletic built infielder displayed nice glovework with smooth actions fielding it. Moved well taking good angels to the ball getting in good position to align his body with his target. Throwing velocity across the diamond was 76 mph. At the plate the right-hander uses a toe turn to get lower half involved. Hands stay simple prior to accelerating the barrel through the zone on a mostly level path. Swing has more strength than speed to it at this stage, showing impressive barrel jump when he squared the ball up. Could be dangerous if bat speed catches up to strength. Middle of the lineup potential with present gap abilities. Two-way prospect. On the bump the right-hander maintains rhythm throughout his lower effort delivery. Offers a three-pitch mix through an over the top slot. Fastball works downhill with some late life at 78-80 mph. Breaking ball was sharp on an 11/5 plane at 66-67 mph. The pitch showed potential of being a put away offering down the road. Also showed a sinking changeup, maintaining most of his arm speed at 70-71 mph.

Infield Velocity: 76

Exit Velocity: 85
