The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Acker was the biggest surprise at the ProCase last June, leaving many in attendance wondering how the right-handed hitting outfielder was still uncommitted at the time. In the workout portion, Acker turned heads by delivering the top outfield velocity of 95 mph, while running a 6.78 laser-timed 60. Offensively, he generated the easiest bat speed at the event, hitting from a balanced, controlled setup with a slightly uphill path. During BP, Acker tanked a few balls out of Silver Cross Field with wood and the wind blowing in. A quick-twitch athlete, Acker has strong hands and creates lift in his swing. Acker has since committed to Nebraska.
