Strong-bodied, 6-foot, 190-pound, RHP/OF Marcus Wolfe Jr. (University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, 2025), showed well with the bat and on the mound. On the mound his arm works loose and quick from a ¾ slot, sitting 79-80 mph with an average of 11.5 inches of horizontal movement. His curveball and slider tend to blend into a similar offering but both are thrown with conviction and the ability to land for a strike. The change up plays out of a similar window as the fastball with late fade. Offensively, Wolfe showed a quiet, compact swing with lifted contact to both gaps. He has above-average bat strength for his age as well, recording a 90.4 mph peak exit velocity as well as a max distance off the bat at 322 feet.
