Another standout two-way performance came from RHP/C James Forgy (St. Thomas Aquinas, 2026). Listed at 6-foot, 174-pounds, the junior’s strong set of tools was on full display in Monday’s look. Forgy was consistently on the barrel throughout his BP round with a short, inside-out swing. From behind the plate, the junior posted a 79 mph velocity to go along with 1.89-2.11 pop times and a quick clean transfer. On the mound, Forgy wrapped up the day by running his fastball up to 84 mph while having the aptitude to spin a slider/curveball/changeup mix for strikes.
