07/18/2024 - Baseball Factory National World Series at JRTC (HS) Franklin continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At the plate, hitting abilities are now well above average through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work on plane, creating extension. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight into a firm front side. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
