01/18/2013 - Arizona National Spring Training Brad is young 2B that will graduate in 2016. Feet are active as he works to square balls up and keep in front displaying clean hands. He needs to attack balls more, present hands more out front, and improve foot quickness to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Ladwig shows a balanced setup. Hands are loose / smooth and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields and improve bat speed. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more through the swing. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and plays hard with a lot of hustle. With 3 years to further develop, Brad has abilities with time and room to improve.
