6-foot-3, 240-pound frame that’s leaned out and added more muscle since our latest in-game look. Ultra-physical athlete that wields one of the loudest right-handed bats in Illinois. Bashed a ball off the center field fence in his first at-bat of the entire tournament and flashed true impact power at times as the weekend went on. Recorded a 108 mph max exit velocity at the Rhino Scout Day last September in BP off a TrackMan.

Uncommitted, 6-foot-3, 240-pound, wide-shouldered, strong, right-handed hitting first baseman. Had a huge offensive game for the Panthers in the first game of the day. Finished 2-for-3 with a home run, triple, walk and six RBI. Possesses some of the best raw power in the Illinois’ 2023 class. Launched a deep three-run home run to left-center field in his final at-bat of the game that had to cut through heavy wind. Also, drove a ball to right that resulted in a triple. Fluid swing, stays short and uphill through the zone. Will sell out for power at times. Intriguing right-handed power bat to follow moving forward.

1B Cade Duffin’s (Oswego, 2023) round of batting practice earned a double take. His batted-ball profile, per TrackMan, slotted him amongst a premium group of hitters, as he averaged an exit speed in BP of 99.6 mph, with a 107.5 high on a ball struck on a direct line-drive into the left-center gap. He’s also clearly able to generate advanced bat speed, producing an average mark of 81.2 mph, according to our Blast sensor. Duffin’s built at a stout 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, featuring obvious inherent strength thus creating a substantial power profile. With that being said, Duffin ranges around first base well for his size and he ran a 7.79 at this event, though he recorded a 7.41 at an event earlier this winter.
