CLASS OF 2025

SS Ty Frakes (Pendleton Heights) was another standout infielder that showed well at the All-State. Frakes was one of the best defenders in attendance, showing fundamental actions with soft hands and quick feet to match. We have seen the lateral quickness translate to gameplay, as well as the actions, and his body control stands out. Frakes profiles as a top of the order bat with a solid run tool (6.80 60) and he hits with casual effort, swinging an accurate barrel. The swing works direct and stays on-plane to extension.
