03/24/2013 - College PREP - Rochester, NY Alaina is a versatile young player whom can play both 2B and OF. As a 2B, she shows agile range, gets a good 1st step off the bat and fields out front with improving glove position. She is an accurate thrower and will benefit from improving her arm slot to allow for more strength, eliminating glove flip on approach to be earlier with glove presentation and improving footwork around the bag on both sides of the double play. As an OF, she has similar actions, a good 1st step off the bat, is athletic in her approach and is an accurate thrower with some carry. To further develop, she needs to play through the ball aggressively without sacrificing body control and use a consistent power step to get the most out of her lower half before following the throw to improve carry/flight. At the plate, Alaina uses a square set up with no load, a short stride and keeps her weight back before launching to contact. She tracks the ball well and will benefit from using her lower half more aggressively, expecting to hit with confidence and striding to a soft front foot to allow her to stay back and drive the ball with her hips behind it. She has some feel for the bunt game and should continue to develop that tool to allow her to put pressure on opposing defenses in more ways than one. Overall, Alaina has an athletic frame and applies coaching very quickly which suggests she will have little to no problem developing her game.
