02/22/2013 - Yankees Spring Training Experience (Ages 14-18) Heinz continues to improve on his game. He has a strong baseball IQ and uses it on the field. Defensively at the hot corner, he works from the ground up and presents his glove out in front. He gets a low base and is sure handed, making the plays. He has a clean exchange and uses his lower 1/2 when working toward his target, making accurate throws across the diamond. On the mound, FB velo increased, now topping out at 72 mph. Jeffrey gets to a tall and controlled balance point and works in-line toward the plate. He pounds the zone and throws strikes with all of his pitches. Finishing out over his front side and continued long toss will help to increase arm strength and raise velocities. As a hitter, he shows a strong bat angle and gets his backside lower 1/2 through at contact. He keeps his head down and squares up the ball, making solid contact. As a 2014 graduate, this 2-way player still has time to improve on his game.
