This athletic LHH OF continues to show well every time that we see him. Offensively, this lefty steps into the box with athletic actions and active hands to load. He whips the barrel quickly to and through the zone on a short/direct path as he connects and drives the bat on a line. He is quick out of the box and down the 1B line, putting a ton of pressure on the defense. He has a great eye for the zone and doesn't swing at much that he cannot handle (drawing 3 walks in 5 AB's). In the OF, a quick first step with good angles put himself into a great position behind the fly-ball. He secures it with soft hands, gathers well and has a clean transfer to throw. Only a 2023 grad - the future looks very bright for Bressmer.
