12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Holiday Classic (HS) Hudson is a 2028 shortstop and right-handed pitcher from Eagle, Colorado, who worked hard to improve his skills at the Baseball Factory West Coast Holiday Camp. On the mound, he displays a confident demeanor, working from the stretch with good balance and strides in line. He relies on his fastball to set up hitters, striking out three and throwing over 50% of his pitches for strikes during four innings of work. He needs to focus on developing his off-speed command. At the plate, Hudson starts with a small hand load and controlled rhythm, keeping his barrel in the hitting zone while maintaining fast hands. He shows good plate discipline, working the count and reaching base with a double, single, walk, reaching on an error, an RBI, and a stolen base. In the infield, he demonstrates smooth actions, quick feet, and the ability to pick out hops with a low funnel, making accurate throws from multiple arm slots. As a freshman, Hudson has a bright future with plenty of room for continued growth and development.
