Heath Newman is a 2019 C/1B, 3B with a 5-9 175 lb. frame from Pittsburgh, PA who attends Shady Side Academy Senior. Medium frame with strength to build; body projects well. Ran 60 yard dash in 7.94 seconds. Sets up to hit from narrow-based, closed-off stance with smaller leg lift trigger; rotational lower half mechanics, flashes shift into contact, solid barrel skills with consistent contact, will drive the ball more as he continues to gain strength. Worked out behind the plate, shows efficient footwork out of crouch, gains well, showed general accuracy down to 2nd base on throws. Excellent student.
