Zachary Briggs is a 2008 C/3B/1B with a 5'10'', 215 lb. frame from Dallas, TX who attends Richardson Pearce HS. He has a thick build that has good strength but he needs to tighten up on his conditioning. Briggs has very good one spot athletic skills. He's surprisingly quick behind the plate for his build and stays compact and short in his actions. He threw a strong 76 mph during drills with a best pop time of 1.93 but was even more impressive during games. At one point he threw out 5 runners in 3 innings, including all 3 outs of one inning, each with tag throws on the bag in the 2.0-2.1 area. He has strong hands behind the plate and receives the ball easily and smoothly. Offensively, Briggs as a loose swing with quick hands and showed pull line drive power. He uses his strength well at the plate and has the same sort of quick compactness he has on defense. Briggs has the tools and skills to play well at the next level, it's all about getting in shape. He is a good student off the field.
