OF Braden Mehn (Normal University, 2025) showed a twitchy left-handed swing that produced a max exit velocity of 89.6 mph, staying on the barrel for most of his round. He showed well in the outfield, too, moving well around the baseball and showing a long, loose arm action, topping out at 82 mph on throws to home.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-8, 153-pounds. Trim, athletic frame with some present strength in the upper body.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup with slight crouch, small up/down leg lift. Quick to the ball with strong hands, works slightly uphill, works all fields. 63 mph bat speed with 10 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 79.2 mph. 290’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 82 mph. Long, loose arm action, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Attacks the ball in-stride, works in-line on throws to home.
Run: 7.21 runner in the 60.
INF Camden Fenton (Pontiac) and OF Braden Mehn (Normal University) were two sub-7.00 runners who handled the bat well in BP while AJ Arrivi (Lemont) was one of the more natural infield defenders on the day playing with pace and soft hands.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-7, 140-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup, active hands with a barrel tip load, short stride. Flat bat path that favored the pull-side, ball jumps off the barrel. 66.3 mph bat speed with 14 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 81.5 mph. 299’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 79 mph. Full arm circle, quick, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Flashed light, bouncy feet, steady hands.
Run: 6.96 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 5-7, 140-pounds.
Delivery: Stretch-only, quick mover.
Arm Action: LH. Short arm, quick out front, 3/4 slot.
FB: T77, 75-76 mph. Armside run, throws for strikes. T1790, 1661 average rpm.
CB: 66-67 mph. 11/5 shape, plays down in the zone, out-pitch potential. T2179, 2122 average rpm.
CH: 72-74 mph. Throws for strikes down in the zone, some arm-side run to it at times. T1435, 1392 average rpm.
