Game Performance

Notes

Comments

7/07/26
Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 199-pound frame, proportionate build with some present strength throughout. The left-handed hitter took one of the strongest rounds of the day, showing an uphill path with a loose and easy stroke, worked consistently middle and pull-side with jump off the barrel, balanced swing with control of the barrel. Steady actions and hands at first, clean release across the diamond.

+ 1B Colin Byers (Streator, 2027) is a highly-projectable L/L prospect to know from the day. He has a lean, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 172-pound frame with plenty more strength to come. At the plate, the left-handed hitter showed an athletic swing with a flatter path and some length through the zone, getting extension through impact and showing the ability to drive the ball the other way (T91 mph max EV). At first base, Byers showed quick feet and some bounce, pairing with steady hands that work out front.
