CLASS OF 2026

Strong 6-foot, 185-pound frame with athleticism. Left-handed bat with a powerful, rotational swing – some drift in the forward move, but when synced up, he produces loud impact (98 mph max EV / 328’ peak, 89.9 avg). Serious bat strength with present power that projects to play in-game. Defensively, arm works at 74 mph across the diamond, fitting the 1B profile. Athletically, a 6.98 runner – an above-average time for a corner bat – giving him sneaky speed to go along with strength. Profiles as a speed–power threat from the left side with the ability to impact the game in multiple ways.

+ '26 OF Daniel Phillips (Brownsburg) showed in a positive light with lots of strength in the left-handed batters' box. The 6-foot, 185 pounder showcased some bat-to-ball with a clean path and exits jumping up to 96.7 on the high-end. There is some drift in the lower-half that can be cleaned up but the barrel strength is a positive trait that has continued to improve over the last couple of seasons. Phillips is a versatile defender that can play 1B or a corner outfield spot with average arm strength.
