Hietpas

Hietpas is a dependable athlete, listed at 5-foot-11, 175 pounds. He demonstrates a knack for the barrel in-game and he made a smooth play on a slow-roller during live gameplay, with a steady set of tools that should keep him on the left side of the diamond long-term. Hietpas also generates some violent hand speed that could promote a more impactful batted-ball profile down the road, in college, providing some sleeper potential in the class at the next level.

From a tall setup, and aggressive rhythm, Hieptas generated sufficient bat speed (71.7 mph max), and recorded a max exit speed of 92.1 mph. In the righty box, he lifts through impact and sends hard contact to all fields, a skill he’s demonstrated in front of us in-game as well. On defense, he moves well with quality up-tempo action, and carries the ball across the field at 83 mph. Hietpas also ran a modest 7.26 time in the 60-yard dash, showcasing footspeed that played up in shorter, more baseball-specific environments. Hietpas’ is a well-rounded player and competitor who has historically performed for us in-game, which complements this aforementioned skill set.

On the first day of our PBR Badger State Battle, Hietpas went 3-for-3 in ISA's win. Hietpas has continued to show barrel feel from the right side, in an athletic build; he hung back well on a two-strike offspeed pitch to line a single up the middle. In his second at-bat, he grounded a ball hard through the right of the shortstop. And in his final at-bat of the day, he barreled a ball into the left-center gap for a double.
