INF James Spellman (Notre Dame College Prep, 2025) gave an upside look throughout workouts with a loud round of BP. Highly projectable, 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame with room for added strength. The left-handed hitter reached up to 97.4 mph for his max exit velocity in BP with a max distance of 356’. Steady defender up the middle with reliable hands and a clean transfer, reached up to 83 mph across the diamond.
C/RHP James Spellman (Notre Dame College, 2025) is another two-way 2025 who intrigued out of the event. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound, upside, broad-shouldered, left-handed hitter started his workout by clocking a 7.03 60 yd dash while also posting one of the highest max exit velocities of the day, T97.4 mph. Offensively, he has strong levers, looks to elevate the baseball, and when synced up and on time the ball jumps off the barrel. Behind the plate he registered one of the top pop times of the day at 2.06. Spellman works from an over-the-top slot on the mound and ran his fastball up to 86.9 mph, while throwing it for strikes 100% of the time.
Another catcher with a strong all-around showing was James Spellman (Notre Dame College Prep, 2025). Spellman has an advanced 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame and strong arm from the crouch that played up to 80 mph with a low pop time of 2.09. Offensively, the left-handed hitter has a loose, whippy, strong swing, stays inside the baseball and gets easy jump off the barrel. Also ran a 7.25 60.
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds. Projectable, strong frame.
Hit: LHH. Balanced, relaxed look in the box, smooth load and stride. Loose hands, whippy through the zone, stays inside the baseball and works uphill through the zone.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 80 mph. 306’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 80 mph. Compact, over-the-top slot. Throws play accurate and with carry.
Defense: 2.09-2.26 pop times. Low setup without runners, reliable hands, tall out of the crouch, gains ground towards second, easy glove-to-hand transfer.
Run: 7.25 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Stretch only, methodical leg lift into an open footstrike.
Arm Action: RH. Quick, short arm path, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 85-86 mph. Life through zone, with run. T2032, 1970 average rpm.
CB: 64-69 mph. Flashed 11/5 action, developing feel. T1802, 1572 average rpm.
