3/21/12: Addison Russell was one of the very first members of the Class of 2012 to fully show his talents to the Perfect Game scouts. He had played in a couple of BCS events late in his freshman year, then came to the 2009 Southeast Underclass Showcase at the beginning of his sophomore year. Here is his PG report from that event: Addison Russell is a 2012 SS/OF with a 6'1'', 180 lb. frame from Pace, FL who attends Pace HS. Broad shouldered, high waisted build, very athletic. Outstanding bat speed for age, quick hands, no problem with 90 mph velo, aggressive swing, good balance and rhythm, extends through contact, potential to be a top level hitter. 6.75 runner, plays faster on field, excellent range at shortstop, quick release, arm strength good now with more to come. Plays the game hard. Chance to be a special player. Good student. Russell has changed physically since then but the tools and potential remain. His broad shoulders have filled out and he was a rock solid 210 pounds last summer. That extra strength and mass has cost him a step of quickness and raised the inevitable questions about his future defensive positions. Most scouts have consigned him to third base in the near future, but it’s interesting to note that on the 2011 USA National 18U team this fall, Russell played shortstop while fellow shortstop prospects Gavin Cecchini and Mikey White played second base and left field respectively. In addition to hitting .364-1-14 over 15 games and co-leading the team with 10 walks, Russell also stood out defensively at shortstop, making only two errors and fielding at a .968 clip. Scouts say that he looked agile and comfortable defensively and also said that it appeared as if he’d lost some of his muscle mass and was leaner. If Russell can remain quick and lean enough to stay at shortstop, his offensive potential is a huge asset. A right handed hitter, Russell has the strength and bat speed to overpower the ball when he gets his arms extended and is an intelligent and mature hitter who is advanced at looking for the pitch he wants during an at bat and jumping on it. He has lightning quick hands on velocity and there won’t be many pitchers who can throw the ball past him at the next level. Russell has gone through periods over the last three years where he becomes over conscious about staying inside the ball and hitting to the opposite field, which negates his power and ability to drive the ball, but has always made the adjustment once he is seeing better pitching during the summer. Scouts who move Russell to third base in their minds should consider another position, though, especially if Russell is able to stay in the 190-200 pound range. He’s played second base a couple of times at Perfect Game events and looked very natural at that position, with quick hands and the ability to really turn a double play. Imagining his bat playing at second base is a pretty exciting proposition.
