2/21/22

MIF/OF John St. Clair (Plainfield North, 2023) put together one of the event’s most well-rounded workouts. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound junior took reps on the infield and outfield, showcasing above-average arm strength from both positions. He peaked at 85 mph across the diamond and reached back for a 91 mph max from the outfield, which was amongst the event’s hardest throws. St. Clair showed quality bat-to-ball skills and a quiet, compact right-handed swing in BP, working line drives off the barrel throughout. He’s an athletic uncommitted follow in Illinois with top-of-the-order upside.
