Aidan Hande, MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-4, 106-pounds. Small and skinny frame presently with almost all of his physical development in front of him. Delivery: Developing mechanics, loses force out of his backside but will naturally come with time. Simple mechanics and easy moving actions down the mound. Arm Action: RH. 3/4 arm slot. FB: T68, 67-68 mph. Fastball carries decent ride. Will need to attack the zone with it. Can live up and away from righties. T1759, 1652 average rpm. CB: 58-59 mph. Feel for release point and command of the zone, especially the lower quadrant. Sweeping action that should be a swing and miss offering. T1741, 1639 average rpm. CH: 63-64 mph. Feel for throwing strikes with pitch. Will need to continue to add inside pressure at release for more arm-side run. Developing shape. T1147, 1082 average rpm. ATH: 8.25 runner in the 60.

Aidan Hande, MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-4, 106-pounds. Small and skinny frame presently with almost all of his physical development in front of him. Hit: RHH. Shoulder width stance to start pre swing, small leg kick starts the swing. Creates good separation at footplant before the body rotates through. Bat turns behind him very well and is on plane with the ball through the entire zone. Looks to drive the ball up the middle and showed ability to let it get deep and drive it out front. Power: 71 max exit velocity, averaged 65.8 mph. 182' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-64 mph. Accurate throws with a quick release. good arm action that will age well. Defense: Moves well to the ball, quick through it with a quick release. ATH: 8.25 runner in the 60.
