02/14/2021 - Official Player Development Membership - Hoover (Birmingham), AL Tatum is an athletic OF/3B who has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate is where she shows best, displaying solid hitting abilities with outstanding power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (61 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. She stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing and she shows a feel for the barrel. In the OF, she takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. She works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to her target. Range will increase as she improves foot quickness. At 3B, she displays smooth, fluid actions. Feet are active as she attacks balls and plays through with her body. Glove action is clean and presents well out front. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. With 4 years to further develop, Tatum has the makings of a special type player with time and room to progress her game.
