Roell

INF Mason Roell (West Bend East, 2024) was one of the top producers for his high school team during the spring, earning him Third Team All-State honors and putting him on the radar as an uncommitted infielder, setting up for a quality summer. Roell stands at an athletic 6-foot-2, 175-pounds, and in our first look at the to-be senior since the winter, notable improvements were made. On the infield, from the shortstop position, Roell fired in throws with carry, maxing out at 85 mph. His twitch and quickness was translated on the offensive end as well, where the right-handed batter was able to backspin and drive the baseball with quick hands and ease. Roell’s pull-side usage was noteworthy, as he created leverage and elevated pitches during his swing, projecting as a quality hitter in the future. His work as a two-way prospect for West Bend East in the spring cannot be understated, as Roell continues to trend up in a loaded 2024 class in the Badger State.

INF Mason Roell (West Bend East, 2024) is a lean 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete with a smooth right-handed swing that resulted in some of the soundest quality of contact at this event. He produces above-average bat and hand speed that helped him average an exit speed of 88.2 mph (95.8 max), and his tall, but slight frame makes him a candidate to be a late-bloomer type should he add strength that will help him improve on an already impressive offensive profile. Roell was also a sure-handed infielder with athletic actions and fluid footwork, and he was 83 mph across the diamond on his throws to first.
