William
Lynch

Lynch earned his way into a prominent role with the Harvard-Westlake program in the spring season and entered his debut event for Prep Baseball California with plenty of momentum. Wiry, athletic in build with athleticism, was quick to make an impression on the day by posting a sound 7.0 60-yard sprint time with 3.89-30 yard and 1.65-10 yard splits and a 19.3 MPH max run speed, which was amongst the best on the day with a slightly slower running track. From there, his showing in the OF during the workout was one of the better ones in attendance, including consistent 86 MPH throws with accuracy to home plate. The RH hitter showcased one of the most consistent swings during batting practice with an easy operation that produced hard contact to the middle of the field at the best rate on the day, with a 100% sweet spot rate. While the angles and location of his contact are nice, don't discount the authority with which he hits the ball, including a 96.2 MPH max EV with a 91.1 MPH avg. EV for the day. Once the game started, he translated his batting practice approach into maybe the best offensive performance of any player there. Facing off with his HW teammate in his first AB, Lynch drilled a 2K offering into RCF for a single. He then followed it up with a sharp single to LF on a quality SLD in his second at-bat, before capping the day with a double into LCF when he jumped on an elevated offspeed pitch, which, if not for the excellent play of the centerfielder, could have gone for a triple. Athletic in his overall operation and with a frame that can add future strength to tick up what is already a high-level profile, Lynch will be a strong name to know going forward in the 2028 class for college coaches.
