Scouting Report

Hitting

When healthy, Couvall has shown increased patience at the plate and an ability to get on base. He doesn’t use his speed to his full advantage, hitting too many flyballs for a line drive hitter. He doesn’t take extra-bases nearly as much as he should, considering his speed and his lineup spot. The outside pitch, specifically the high ball, continues to give him trouble. Yet, he’s reduced his swings at high pitch balls. Because he has a tendency to pull the ball, he still hits too many weak ground balls to the right side of the infield. Couvall short and compact swing allows him to make consistent contact at the plate.

Base-Running & Defense

Tony Couvall natural speed isn’t spectacular; but he makes the most of it in every way. With good reads and all-out hustle. He’s alert and aggressive on the bases. Couvall will take an extra base if the opposing defense is sleeping. His defense is a lot like his hitting-alternately spectacular and maddening. An average-arm for a former shortstop with okay range, he can knock down a grounder up the middle and rifle it over to first base, and he can just as easily fail to anticipate a hop or throw away a routine three-hopper.
