A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
Physical: 5-foot-9, 150 pounds; lean athletic build. 7.38 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH. Upright stance with feet shoulder width and hands in front; knee knock stride while hands load straight back. Aggressive lower half; stays behind the ball with direct contact and stays on plane through the zone; 2 degree bat angle into the zone via Blast Motion. Helgert is able to produce 10.3 G’s of force with an on-plane efficiency of 70%. Solid line drive contact through the middle of the field; average Trackman exit velocity of 73.22 MPH; peak exit velo was 83 MPH. Defensively: Uses prep step; plays low to the ground. funnels to the belt with slight delay in transfer ; short arm action to 3/4 slot. INF - 77 MPH.
2/23/20
Showcased a long and lean 5-foot-9, 140-pound frame with feel for his body and room to fill out as he matures. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, even stance utilizing a controlled knee-knock stride with some choppiness to initiate a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Generated some pull-side lift with some length in the swing allowing for occasional scooping action at contact. Fluidity in the lower half allowed for some barrel whip evidenced by a 79 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice. Ran a 7.00 60-yard dash showing off the athleticism he possesses. The primary backstop featured average receiving skills with small glove hand movement at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.20-2.31 on accurate throws of 68 mph out of a short, high ¾ arm-slot. Quick footwork and smooth transfers set up repeatable throws, but backside pulled off early losing some strength on the arm velocity. Displayed adequate blocking technique behind the dish with soft walls and downward chest angles flashing some bounce out of the crouch to recover quickly.
