Grip Strgth (LH)

Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
St. Louis commit, ranked No. 66 overall in the state’s junior class. Compact frame with lower half strength, started at shortstop and hit third for the Griffins. Went 1-for-3 with a walk and three barrels. Short and direct path to contact, stays in the hitting zone and knows how to use the whole field. Goes with the pitch, doesn’t try to do too much and is comfortable hitting off platform. Doesn’t swing-and-miss much, shortens up with two strikes and competes. Fluid on the infield, soft hands, free mover, can stick up the middle at the next level.
Verbally committed to Saint Louis University.
Hitterish at the plate, MIF Drew Kleinheider (Father McGivney) owns one of the purest, more polished right-handed swings in the Illinois’ 2025 class. Kleinheider kept a long, flat barrel through the hitting zone throughout his round, finding it regularly (89%) as a result and peppering line drives to all fields with ease. He showed more bat strength than we’d seen from him in the past, posting an average exit velocity of 87.8 mph, to go along with a 93.1 mph max as well. Kleinheider trimmed his 60 time down .16 seconds from the winter, running a 7.13 at this event, and he’s a fluid, sure-handed up the middle defender that’ll stick on the dirt at the next level.
Positional Profile: SS/2B
Body: 5-8, 150-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Narrow, upright setup, gains ground. Simple approach, quick and direct, consistently barrels the ball to all fields.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 87.8 mph. 333’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 79 mph. Short, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic actions, soft hands, plays through the ball with rhythm.
Run: 7.13 runner in the 60.
Compact 5-foot-7, 150-pound frame, strong lower half. Started at second base and hit in the six spot in this look. Quiet in the box, hitterish look, simple load in rhythm. Short bat path, stays inside the baseball with a clear knack for the barrel, comfortable using the whole field. Went 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs in this look, including a deep double to left field and two middle-away singles. Athletic on the infield too, fluid feet that bounced around the dirt with confidence in I/O and soft, sure-handed glovework to pair. Slashing .429/.486/.619 across 72 plate appearances this spring.
From Illinois, INF Drew Kleinheider (Father McGivney, 2025) may have been the biggest winner from this entire event. He first caught our attention at Creekside this summer where he picked up hit after hit during the Midwest Premier Super 15 - all while playing clean defense on the infield turf. Kleinheider took one of the most polished rounds of batting practice we saw all day, staying through the baseball and on plane while peppering line drives to all fields with confidence. His knack for contact certainly showed on Sunday, as he led the gameplay portion of this event in hits, comfortably using the whole field. Kleinheider’s actions defensively are advanced for his age, which he showed during the workout portion, and he made a few plays defensively in-game, too. A top-of-the-order type bat with clean defense, Kleinheider absolutely emerged as a name-to-know prospect from this event.
