2024 Wow Factor National Showcase
Griffin Templeton is a 2028 SS/RHP with a 5-9 155 lb. frame from Crossville, TN who attends Stone Memorial. Lean athletic build with plenty of room to get stronger. Right handed hitter, hits from a medium stance with a hanging front foot load, gets his foot down on time, has quick hands and creates some barrel whip and looseness through the zone, stayed on top of the ball well for consistent line drive contact, projects well as a hitter. 7.58 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense, moves well and has confident actions through the ball, glove works well, makes accurate throws on the move and from lower slots, slowed the game down well. Also pitched, has a full wind up from the first base side of the rubber, 3/4's arm slot, tends to fall off to the first base side on release, repeats his mechanics well. Fastball topped out at 81 mph and was mostly straight, threw a short cutter off his fastball at times and also threw a hard curveball with a tight two-plane break. Still developing feel for his change up but maintains his arm speed well. Good overall athlete who will keep improving in all areas.
