Daniel Romaine: RHP/3B, (2026) ST Ignatius, OH. 5-foot-10, 160-pound athletic frame. (59.2 mph bat speed average). (18.7 mph hand speed average). Begins in an open stance with a smooth compact load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is quick explosive, exhibits a short simple swing plane and balanced finish. He found multiple barrels with loud contact. Aggressive gap to gap approach. Confident above average in the infield, recorded a position velocity of 71 mph; showed soft sure hands, fluid feet, and a natural exchange. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used uninterrupted slot and a short very quick arm action.
