ethan Petri interested scouts as both a
0:04
slugger and a pitcher during his Florida
0:06
high school days but was focused on
0:07
hitting since turning down provers and
0:09
arriving at South Carolina he hit 44
0:11
homers in his first two seasons with the
0:13
Gamecocks then led the Cape with 11 last
0:15
summer while winning MVP and top
0:17
prospect accolades petri generates plus
0:20
raw power massive strength and leverage
0:22
from a 6'4 235lb frame in an uphill
0:24
right hand stroke and he's capable to
0:26
any part of any ballpark caveat is that
0:28
he chases pitches excessively swinging
0:30
missing inside and outside the zone but
0:32
he will take walks when opponents pitch
0:33
around him he struggled with pitches up
0:35
in and above the strike zone last spring
0:37
but made adjustments and hammered them
0:39

petri draws comparison to Petonzo with
0:44
less bat speed on the high end and Seth

Beer with less plate to split on the low

end he's a well below average runner
0:49
with extremely limited range in right
0:51
field but he does have solid arm
0:52
strength and was clocked up to 96 mph

off the mound as a prepster he's played
0:56
a serviceable first base in South
0:57
Carolina and likely will move there
0:59
full-time once he turns
