Butina

Central Michigan commit. The senior had an all-around impressive week. At the plate, Butina went 6-for-9 (.667) with a home run, two doubles, eight RBIs, seven runs scored, and three intentional walks. On the mound, he went 1-0, struck out nine, allowed two hits and no runs.

Butina showed some easy pop from the left side, launching three balls over 300 feet from a swing that creates natural lift, reaching a max exit speed of 93.1 mph on Sunday. Butina showed up to the event looking leaner, too, which allowed him to move around the first base bag with lighter feet – and he chopped his 60-yard dash time down to 7.35 in a short period of time.
