05/11/2013 - College PREP - New Orleans, LA
Lindsey is an extremely talented young 3B with an advanced skill set on both sides of the ball. Lindsey is a soft sure handed defender with fluid footwork and agile range. She keeps her feet active pre pitch, is an accurate thrower with carry and will benefit from following her throws with her feet. She is very good on both sides of a double play and shows extremely sharp instincts with a real understanding of her responsibilities as a SS. At the plate, Lindsey uses a square set up with a back load, short stride and keeps her balance centered before launching her short swing to the ball. An aggressive hitter, Lindsey consistently hits the ball hard, displays solid timing and keeps her barrel through contact well to create extension. She should continue to work on the load/stride phase of her swing to simplify and make easier to repeat, the double tap stride is very hard to do on time over and over but it's possible. Overall, Lindsey is a true talent with a world of potential if she continues to work hard, seeks quality instruction/opponents and is detailed in her preparation both at the plate and as a defender.
