7/01/25
OF Landon Hughes (Cathedral) showed as the best bat of this bunch with a loud round of batting practice that included 96+ peak exits and the furthest batted ball of the day (364 feet). A quick paced barrel tip-to-trigger comes from a wide-based stance, and he uncoils with aggression as he looks to lift balls from gap-to-gap. The bat speed that the physical, 6-foot-2, 210 pounder produces jumps out from the left-side of the dish, and he also turned in a 7.07 60-yard dash along with an outfield arm that reached 84 mph.

+ Hughes was impressive at this event, really standing out amongst his peers with his physical, 6-foot-2, 205 pound frame. After turning in a 7.13 60-yard dash, Hughes took my favorite round of batting practice of the day with a loose, well-paced, left-handed stroke. There is some heaviness to the barrel as he turns it on an upward plane, reaching a peak exit velocity of 101.5 mph. Solid arm strength (88 from the outfield) rounds out a well-rounded toolset. Hughes has a chance to step into a big run-producers' role for Cathedral this spring and his showing this weekend may be indicative of a breakout junior season looming.
