OF Cole Vander Velde (Evanston, 2025) looks to be an upside left-handed bat to follow from the event. Listed at 6-foot-4, 180-pounds, he has a lean, projectable build with plenty of room to add on muscle throughout his frame. At the plate, he has a loose, upside swing with a flat path that stays through the hitting zone, creating some extension through impact with a balanced finish, maxing out at 90.8 mph for his EV. He showed the ability to lift the ball to his pull-side, reaching up to 349’ for his max distance.
