02/18/2013 - College PREP - Stillwater (Minneapolis), MN Katie is a steady RHP from the 2014 class. In the circle, she has a narrow stance, choppy rhythm and tempo and stays in line throughout her delivery. She pitches to contact with the fastball and will benefit from moving it around the zone more to keep hitters off balance. Incorporating more leg drive will help her improve her velocities on all pitches, ultimately making them all more effective. At the plate, Katie uses a closed stance with no load, a short stride and has a short path to the ball. She competes well at the plate and will benefit from keeping her front side on the ball longer, starting with square feet to eliminate her open stride and loosening grip to improve flexibility in hands and bat speed. Overall, Katie is receptive to instruction, hustles all day long and should continue to seek quality reps/instruction to further grow in this great game.
