Austin Mitchell is a 2018 C/OF, 1B with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Sanford, FL who attends TNXL Academy. Medium, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength proportioned throughout body, has some room to still fill out. Ran a 7.56 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, comes out of the crouch well and projects with continued incorporation of lower half, compact actions with a short arm action on throws, arm strength will continue to develop on throws, quick transfer and release out of the glove, accurate to the bag. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high back elbow in the box. Leg lift trigger at start of swing, full path through the zone with lift and extension out front. Shows fluidity and comfort with hands, generates nice bat speed through the zone with a feel for the barrel, occasionally opens front side early, nice carry with leverage coming off to all parts of the field. Very good student.
