CLASS OF 2026

A true two-way standout, RHP/INF Tyler Putnam (Battle, 2026) really stood out from a position player perspective at Wednesday’s workout. Putnam repeatedly got off intentful hacks from the right side, showing easy pull-side juice with bat speed to match. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Putnam drove his furthest ball 365 feet, averaging 268 feet per batted ball, and his loudest ball came off his barrel at 97.4 mph. Putnam ran a 7.14 60-yard dash at his size, with a 19.4 mph peak run speed, and was 87 mph across the infield on his firmest throw.
