1st rd #11 Addison Russell Pace HS, FL SS R/R HS 6'00" 215lbs DOB: 01/23/94 Commitment: Auburn BA National Rank:28 Signed for/Slot money: 2.625M/2.625M mlb.com: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=19999705&c_id=mlb A shortstop in high school, perhaps a third baseman at the next level, it doesn't matter. It will be Russell's bat that gets him drafted.The Florida prep infielder has very good bat speed and doesn't get cheated at the plate, with above-average power to his pull side. He's an average runner who is better underway. He does have some good defensive skills, with plus arm strength and good hands. He's gotten a little thicker recently and there was some question about his range to begin with, so a move to third makes sense. He will also need to stay back more at the plate and not get fooled by offspeed stuff, things that should come with time and experience. He should profile very well as an every- day third baseman when all is said and done. BA: http://tinyurl.com/7gxbnvm (0201)37. Addison Russell, ss, Pace (Fla.) HS Russell was one of two players to play in the Under Armour All-America Game as an underclassman in 2010 (with the other being Lance McCullers). Russell has explosive athleticism and was seen doing backflips on the field before a game at USA Baseball's Tournament of Stars. Russell is a streaky hitter, but hit well for Team USA in November, hitting .364/.481/.614 with four doubles, two triples and a home run. Russell's swing can sometimes get a long and draws comparisons to Juan Uribe. He has some noise to his swing and swings out of his shoes at times, but Russell frequently hits the ball on the screws and shows impressive power, especially to his pull side. Defensively, Russell shows quick hands at shortstop, but not the quickest feet. He has a thicker build and is just an average runner, meaning he may be better suited at third base or second base. He has choppy actions, but the ball always sticks in his glove and he has above-average arm strength. Russell is committed to Auburn. -Conor Glassey (Jan. 2012) http://tinyurl.com/7vu4t54 (0515) 28.Russell earned Juan Uribe comparisons last summer for his thick body, arm strength and power potential, as well as his profile as a player who will stick on the left side of the infield. Those comparisons no longer work physically, though, as he has lost at least 20 pounds and shaped up his physique considerably. Some scouts still think he will have to move to third, but most consider him a shortstop with soft hands, improved footwork and an above-average arm. Russell has bat speed and raw power, hindered by inconsistent swing mechanics. He's a tinkerer with his set-up and stance, and his swing can get long and loopy, leading to seven homers this spring but also a fairly modest .368 average. At other times, though, Russell will get locked in, wait on good breaking balls and make consistent, hard contact. Teams that have seen him on the right day as a shortstop with juice may buy the Boras Corp. client out of his Auburn scholarship. perfectgame: http://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=223842 (0321)Addison Russell 6-1 210 SS 3B Report 3/21/12: Addison Russell was one of the very first members of the Class of 2012 to fully show his talents to the Perfect Game scouts. He had played in a couple of BCS events late in his freshman year, then came to the 2009 Southeast Underclass Showcase at the beginning of his sophomore year. Here is his PG report from that event: Addison Russell is a 2012 SS/OF with a 6'1'', 180 lb. frame from Pace, FL who attends Pace HS. Broad shouldered, high waisted build, very athletic. Outstanding bat speed for age, quick hands, no problem with 90 mph velo, aggressive swing, good balance and rhythm, extends through contact, potential to be a top level hitter. 6.75 runner, plays faster on field, excellent range at shortstop, quick release, arm strength good now with more to come. Plays the game hard. Chance to be a special player. Good student. Russell has changed physically since then but the tools and potential remain. His broad shoulders have filled out and he was a rock solid 210 pounds last summer. That extra strength and mass has cost him a step of quickness and raised the inevitable questions about his future defensive positions. Most scouts have consigned him to third base in the near future, but it’s interesting to note that on the 2011 USA National 18U team this fall, Russell played shortstop while fellow shortstop prospects Gavin Cecchini and Mikey White played second base and left field respectively. In addition to hitting .364-1-14 over 15 games and co-leading the team with 10 walks, Russell also stood out defensively at shortstop, making only two errors and fielding at a .968 clip. Scouts say that he looked agile and comfortable defensively and also said that it appeared as if he’d lost some of his muscle mass and was leaner. If Russell can remain quick and lean enough to stay at shortstop, his offensive potential is a huge asset. A right handed hitter, Russell has the strength and bat speed to overpower the ball when he gets his arms extended and is an intelligent and mature hitter who is advanced at looking for the pitch he wants during an at bat and jumping on it. He has lightning quick hands on velocity and there won’t be many pitchers who can throw the ball past him at the next level. Russell has gone through periods over the last three years where he becomes over conscious about staying inside the ball and hitting to the opposite field, which negates his power and ability to drive the ball, but has always made the adjustment once he is seeing better pitching during the summer. Scouts who move Russell to third base in their minds should consider another position, though, especially if Russell is able to stay in the 190-200 pound range. He’s played second base a couple of times at Perfect Game events and looked very natural at that position, with quick hands and the ability to really turn a double play. Imagining his bat playing at second base is a pretty exciting proposition. KL http://tinyurl.com/7vu4t54 Russell lost 25 pounds last offseason to give himself a better chance to stay at short while also allowing his quick-twitch athleticism to show through more easily. He has massive upside even at third base; while his hands, arm and actions are good enough to stick at short, his feet aren't quite quick enough. Russell's broad shoulders will eventually fill out and he'll likely get back to the size he was last summer, which will still allow him to play an above-average third base. His bat speed (some of the best in this draft) and explosive hips create plus present power with plus-plus projection. He has the raw tools to hit for average but had struggled with the bat after just OK showcase performances with wood bats. Russell barred (locked) his lead arm this spring and doesn't show great feel to hit against the inferior pitching he's faced. Scouts say if they're going to bet on a guy improving at the plate, they want an athlete, and Russell is one of the best. He has a strong commitment to Auburn but likely will find a team in the first round willing to bring him into pro ball. BP http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=17201 16. Addison Russell, SS, Pace HS (FL) Who he is: Russell helped his stock considerably this spring by showing up with a much thinner physique, with one scout saying, “he looks like a shortstop now.” He's athletic with smooth actions and a plus arm, and he has the size and swing for at least average power potential and maybe a bit more, although it will likely come with a good share of strikeouts. Draft skinny: Russell has been creeping up boards, and while he's drawn some interest from teams in the 10-15 range, 16-20 is a more realistic expectation. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=addison-russell age AB H 2B 3B HR SB CS BB SO avg obp slg 2012 Pace Patriots 18 81 29 9 2 8 30 13 .358 .532 .815 http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/SR_t-jrNnEyisdBk9vJXsg/baseball-spring-12/profile-addison-russell.htm -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.34.111.73 ※ 編輯: ThomasHSNU 來自: 114.34.111.73 (06/17 15:03)
