12/20/2015 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Howard is a hardworking and very coachable player who has improved some in some areas of his game during his time at Pirate City. At the plate, hands are quick, generating bat speed through an aggressive approach. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with the baseball exploding off of his bat with power (exit velocity = 91 mph), displaying gap to gap pop. At the event, he was 3 for 6 (with 3 singles and 3 walks). Pop times continue to show in the low 2.10 range as he gets rid of the baseball quickly with life and carry through his target. He shows off his athletic abilities through his receiving / blocking tools. Howard will be a fun player to watch and will get looks from the collegiate coaches with his tools on the diamond.
