Jesse Owens, Davidson Academy (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: OF/RHP Body: 6-0, 155-pounds. Taller frame that is still very lean that will develop size and strength extremely well. Hit: RHH. Wider stance with knees slightly bent and very balanced. His hands begin just above his rear shoulder. Small leg lift pushes his hands into a loaded position. Great position at footplant with great upper and lower separation. Shows feel for back leg throughout the swing. Peppered balls into the left center gap with line drives, occasionally getting under one to deep left field. He has lots more gas in the tank coming soon. Power: 85 max exit velocity, averaged 76.3 mph. 308' max distance. Arm: RH. OF-79 mph. Above average arm strength for age with good accuracy towards home, lots more to come in terms of velocity. Defense: Has smooth footwork to the ball, breaking down to field the ground ball like an INF. Carries good momentum through the ball towards home. ATH: 7.73 runner in the 60.
