Graedon
Finarelli

Physical: Strong, athletic 6-foot-3, 215lb frame with big time physicality in the actions. 7.22 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Started with a crouched, bent stance using some rhythm in the hands above the shoulder to start; utilized a short lift and replace stride initiating a smooth, medium intent barrel into the hitting zone through a flat path. Generated consistent extension at impact, lifting to an easy, high finish on the backside with a mostly pull-side approach during batting practice. Worked his way up to a T96 mph bat-exit velocity (near 330 foot batted ball distance) with a skillset that carried over to game action leading to extra-base hits to the LCF gap. Hit into a stiff/sturdy front side with adjustability and athleticism on the pitch down in the zone. Comfortable middle of the order presence with bat control.

Defensively: The primary third baseman flashed short, simple footwork with choppy movements early off the bat, beat the ball to the spot with a soft, low glove hand operating with rhythm and funneling inward to the midsection. Released from an accurate H ¾ slot with some carry to the bag on occasion (78 mph arm).

Physical: 6’3 215lb 3B/C ran a 7.22 laser timed 60 yard dash. Strong frame has room to continue to improve physical strength and quickness.

Offensively: He starts in a shoulder width with his front foot slightly open. A short and simple load and stays controlled throughout the swing. The barrel works down to the ball, making contact out in front of his front foot. Drives ball consistently to his pull side gap.

Defensively: Footwork is simple and easy as he fields the ball and redirects his momentum in the direction of his target.  Plays athletic when moving laterally and shows ability to throw from multiple arm angles.

Physical: Solid build and advanced physicality in a strong 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame. 7.25 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Begins with a balanced, slightly open stance with a slight bend in the knees as the hands start above the shoulder with minor rhythm. Utilized a controlled lift-and-replace stride while holding some coil over the backside on the forward move creating stretch in the body, launched the barrel through a slightly uphill path generating loud contact at the front of the plate and present juice to the pull-side during batting practice. Strong and physical lower half generated above average ground power with a 44% line drive percentage according to Trackman Baseball / recorded a top bat-exit velocity of 94 mph and maximum batted ball distance of 324 feet. 67% hard hit percentage shows just how good he was in the box / mature approach at the dish. 

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured solid footwork with lengthy, methodical actions. Rhythm in the approach with feel for pace across the diamond, arrived on time at the spot fielding out in front with a medium-low center of gravity letting the long arms play aggressively, soft glove hand with quality catch and throw skills. Accurate, high ¾ arm-slot across the diamond with a moderate arm circle. INF - 78 mph

6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitter starts from a wide, slightly open stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Showcased a feel for the barrel with some ability to drive the ball with a strong lower half. Registered an 83 mph bat exit velocity and ran a 7.64 60-yard dash. Displayed active feet defensively with accurate 76 mph arm strength across the diamond.
