1B 6-4 240 Baylor HS (IL)

Vytas Valincius (2021 Lockport, TN) There is something to be said about guys that always show up and hit and this powerfully built right-handed hitter seems to do just that. He already has top of the scale power and it is showing up more often than not.

Vytas Valincius is a 2021 1B/RHP with a 6-4 240 lb. frame from Lockport, IL who attends Baylor. XXL build with serious present strength, one of the strongest players in the 2021 class. Right handed hitter, well timed leg lift trigger with an easy tension free swing, outstanding hand strength, gets the barrel out in the zone on time and repeats his timing and mechanics well, works the middle of the field but can flash the ability to turn on the ball, gets some separation out front, ball explodes off the barrel with elite level exit velocities. His combination of mechanics and strength should guarantee college success at South Carolina. 7.30 runner, has arm strength at first base but will have to continue to work on his agility defensively. Fun to watch with a bat in his hands.

Big and strong at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds the eye test may fool you at first glance. The South Carolina recruit is much more athletic and nimble than an initial perception based simply on body type. He’s a solid defender who moves really well for his size (7.14 sixty), showing impressive range to his left into the 6-hole, while making accurate throws on the run. With sure hands and above average arm strength (87 mph across the infield), Valincius may physically look like a future first baseman, but his skills and tools give him a strong change to remain at the hot corner. As good as his defensive game showed on this look, he was even better in the batter’s box. With some length and big strength that produces plus-to-better present raw power and a ProCase best 104 mph exit velocity off the tee, “Vito” also showed the ability to get to his pop during the game with hard hit balls in his trips to the plate. He’s aggressive, swings hard and even his mishits have carry. He scored high in Blast testing for peak hand speed (24.1 mph), rotational acceleration (17.1 g) and led the ProCase with 75.3 mph of bat speed and a top exit velocity of 104.3 mph in batting practice.
