School: Mulberry (Fla.) HS Drafted/Committed: Florida
Age At Draft: 18.5
Partridge is a lean, wiry lefthanded hitter and shortstop with exciting hitting traits. Listed at 6-foot, 160 pounds, Partridge lacks physicality and strength, but he has a mature offensive approach with great balance at the plate. Partridge has a slightly crouched setup in the box with solid rhythm in his hands and uses a toe tap to get his lower half started before firing his hands with a fairly direct path to the baseball. He’s done a nice job making adjustments against all pitch types and seems to have an advanced understanding of the strike zone. Partridge also was a loud performer at PBR’s Florida preseason classic this spring and will flash occasional pullside power, though he needs to add plenty of strength to become an average home run producer. He’s a fine runner but not a burner and has a chance to stick at shortstop, though his actions and arm strength could wind up being a better fit for second or third base. Partridge is a Florida commit who could make a big jump by adding strength and providing more clarity to his long-term defensive home in college. -
School: Mulberry (Fla.) HS Committed: Florida
Age At Draft: 18.6
Partridge has a lean, athletic build for a young third baseman and a mature offensive approach for his age. He tracks pitches well with good balance and timing from the left side of the plate to make frequent contact. His swing generates loft, he’s starting to tap into more over-the-fence power and has the strength projection for more power gains as he fills out.
