TPG East II

Hardison has a compact 5-foot-6 and 155-pound frame. Stance starts slightly open and balanced before a minimal toe tap load with a slight bat wrap. Upon landing, the stance is even more open and the barrel takes a level and direct path to the ball. Visible contact mindset and sees the ball deep into the zone with extension through it. Hips rotate completely and uses the whole field with a top exit velocity of 79 mph. Behind the dish Hardison posted a 2.15-2.30 pop time range with a top catcher velocity of 65 mph. Exchanges were quicker and clean with average footwork and a short high three-quarter arm action. Ran an 8.38 laser timed 60-yard dash.
