Bernhardt

10.28.17 Still uncommitted, Bernhardt will be a nice addition to a recruiting class. He has a lean-athletic frame at 5-foot-8, 155-pounds, with plenty of room to add strength in the coming years. Solid defender that can really handle the ball on the infield. Quick first step, smooth footwork, soft hands and quick exchange. Gets rid of the ball quickly, accurate arm, can throw from different slots with a clean release and a max velocity of 80 mph across the diamond. Made a spectacular play in the game, ranging up the middle and diving to snag a hard ground ball, popped up and made a strong throw to first base. A right-handed hitter, Bernhardt has a balanced, simple setup with smooth rhythm and a clean, flat path to the ball with a line drive approach and an exit velocity of 85 mph off the tee. During the game, he had a quality at-bat where he hammered a ground ball to second base with two-strikes.
