Bobby
Kutt

Verbally committed to Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

Presenting some of the best bat speed and natural power on the day, INF Bobby Kutt (Providence Catholic, 2024) impressed on Sunday, going 2-for-2 with a double and home run against quality arms. In a strong 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame, Kutt proved to handle the bat with ease, showcasing an aggressive barrel and ability to elevate the baseball with power to all fields.

Jackson Spring (St. Charles North), Cael Karczewski (Joliet West), Blake Crancer (Normal West), Will Potter (Downers Grove South), Bobby Kutt (Providence Catholic) and Jaden Obaldo (Crystal Lake Central) were a strong crop of middle infielders that should be able to stick up the middle moving forward and they all swing intriguing right-handed bats.

Uncommitted. Looks the part physically after adding strength this off-season; muscular, athletic frame. Hit out of the six-hole for Nazareth Academy. Above-average hand speed at the plate, made contact in all three at-bats with a short, level path through the zone. Barreled up a ball in his first at-bat and nearly left the yard in his second. Made a handful of plays at second base as well, profiling as a stable defender there in the long-term.
