Overall Assessment

Savannah Woods demonstrates strong potential as a middle infielder with her combination of speed and hitting ability. Her exceptional hand speed and above-average exit velocity suggest she could develop into a powerful hitter. Her speed, particularly in short bursts, is a significant asset both offensively and defensively. While her arm strength is adequate for her primary position (2B), there may be room for improvement to enhance her versatility, especially for her secondary position (1B).
