Stein

Stein stole the show on the position player side of things with outstanding measurables and the actions to match. The highest-touted uncommitted prospect in the class, Stein blazed a 6.66 60 yard dash to start the day, before putting together a professional round of batting practice with the top average exit velocity of the day (97.1 mph). Stein peaked at 102.6 mph, suggesting gap power could be a future-tool. Stein showed consistent tempo through his swing, delivering a quick, level barrel through the hitting zone that stays on-plane to extension. Stein was hands-down the best defensive infielder in attendance, showing real bounce in the feet with soft hands to match. His best tool is his arm strength, firing the ball across the infield at 97 mph with real carry. Uncommitted for now, expect high-level programs from across the country to be in contact with Stein as he plays his junior season.
