OF/RHP Ethan Martin (Westminster Christian, 2025) led the entire event in throwing velocity, regardless of position, when he uncorked a 94 mph laser to home from the outfield. Martin toed the rubber later on, pitching at 82-83 mph with his fastball, while landing all of his sliders for strikes at 74-75 mph. He swung a loose, level right-handed bat that sprayed line drives throughout his BP round as well.
