WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
Sharp was announced as a third baseman, but Baseball America had him ranked 479th in this draft class due to his work on the mound. He was rated much higher earlier in the year. The decision to announce him as a third baseman might be due to delivery, which is described as “violent throughout” and the fact he had an injury this year. Sharp throws 88-91 MPH off the mound, so that should work well making the long throws from third base. He’s been working on his strength and hitting over the past two years and he has a good swing with quick hands. He has a commitment to Clemson, which is usually a tough school to buy a player away from. |
