1B/LHP Michael Sinn (Lafayette, 2027) was a winner on both sides of the ball from this event. A long, lean two-way to keep an eye on in the 2027 class, Sinn got the day started with a loud round of BP that saw him barrel his best ball 95.9 mph from the right side of the plate. At first base, Sinn posted a 80 mph top velocity with feel for footwork around the bag. To wrap up the day, the sophomore hopped on the mound, running his fastball up to 84 mph with the feel to fill up the zone with a curveball at 69 mph, a slider at 72-74 mph, and a low spin changeup at 73-75 mph. With a 6-foot-5, 190-pound frame, there is plenty more to come as Sinn continues to add size and strength and polish his game.
