Hunter
VaDeer

VaDeer entered the weekend as one of the top uncommitted prospects within the state of Minnesota. The right-hander stands at 6-foot-1, 200-pounds, utilizing his natural strength on the offensive end to produce at a high level for the Macstrength Grizzlies. VaDeer, who will represent Team Midwest at the 2023 PBR Future Games in just under a week, showcased a whippy barrel that earned two hits in a victory, inserting himself as a future middle-of-the-order bat.
