Huff delivered one of the stronger offensive performances of the event, showcasing a mature right-handed swing and consistent impact throughout his batting practice round. The 2028 catcher from Army & Navy Academy posted a 95.5 mph max exit velocity with a peak distance of 354 feet while recording both a 55% hard-hit rate and 55% sweet-spot percentage. His quick hands stood out, generating 20.3 mph hand speed and allowing him to repeatedly get the barrel to pitches on the inner half of the plate. Nearly all of his hardest contact came on pitches located up and in, highlighting both his bat speed and ability to turn on velocity. Behind the plate, Huff recorded pop times ranging from 2.11-2.19 with throws reaching 71 mph, while also showing versatility with 78 mph arm strength across the infield. He ran a 7.18-second 60-yard dash, solid athleticism for a catcher, and continues to show traits that fit the position well. With additional physical development still ahead, Huff possesses an intriguing blend of offensive upside and defensive value behind the dish.
