08/05/2012 - College PREP - Dublin (Columbus), OH Austin is a solid, broad shouldered two-way player that will graduate in 2013. At 1B, he shows soft hands, takes proper angles to the ball and an accurate throwing arm. He needs to work on being more aggressive to the ball, a quicker release to throw and more quickness. At the plate, he shows an open stance with a solid load and short stride. He makes good use of his lower half and stays balanced throughout his swing. He is a bit long through the zone causing him to be late with his contact point hitting fly balls. He needs more pre-pitch rhythm to relax his hands to allow for more bat speed.
