06/17/2012 - College PREP - Hoover (Birmingham), AL Austin is an athletic OF/2B that will graduate in 2014. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 7.19 60 time. In the OF, feet are quick / active in working to take proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He needs to work on getting behind balls more to play through and improve defensive grades. Throws display accuracy as he gets rid of the baseball quickly but needs to build more arm strength and raise arm slot. At 2B, he displays clean hands and works to square balls up. To continue to improve defensive grade, he needs to improve foot speed, play through balls more and present hands more out front. At the plate, Jennings shows a balanced approach with rhythm. He makes consistent contact but needs to work on getting stride foot down sooner to work on time. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. With 2 years to further develop, Austin has abilities with time and room to improve.
