Another standout two-way performance came from INF/RHP Cohen Epler (Webb City, 2025). At the plate, the 5-foot-10, 166-pound senior showed a clean, easy right-handed swing that stayed level through the zone, lining balls back through the middle throughout his round of BP. Where Epler shined the most was on the mound where he showcased an effortless delivery, running his fastball up to 86.5 mph, consistently filling up the zone with strikes at 84-86 mph. He showed feel to command both sides of the plate with a slider at 71-74 mph and a low spin changeup at 78-79 mph.
