INF/RHP Sam Ernst (Fond du Lac, 2024) stands at a lanky 6-foot-2, 179-pound frame, and showed well as a two-way prospect throughout the day. Ernst, from a tall stance, showcased a short, compact swing from the right-handed batter’s box. Maxing out at a 90.1 mph EV, Ernst finished in the top half of batters when it came to power, as his quick swing and up-the-middle approach was noteworthy. On defense, Ernst reached 79 mph from the shortstop position, presenting quality actions and a quick arm. To finish off his day, the right-hander got up on the mound and sat in the upper-70s and lower-80s throughout, spinning his fastball at an average of 2,126 RPM. Ernst departed from Sheboygan as one of the winners from the event after a solid two-way showing.
