Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 185 in the state. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed hitter finished the day at an impressive 3-for-5 clip with a home run, double, three RBIs and two runs scored. He showed an aggressive and ‘ready to hit’ approach at the plate, taking the first pitch of the game up the middle for a screaming single and continuing to attack early in the count for the rest of his at-bats. He’s an impressive athlete, roaming the outfield with clear athleticism (6.88 60-runner) and a quick first step - also showing off a strong arm from the outfield in IO. Strong right-handed bat with tools to pair, high follow.

The Polubinski triplets, juniors from Oswego East – Josh (6-foot-3, 195-pound), Mike (6-foot-3, 185-pounds), and Zach (6-foot-2, 190-pounds) all made a strong impression at the event. Each has a physical, athletic frame and swung potent right-handed bats with intent to do damage.
