Notes

10/08/23
INF Ethan Mendez (Benet Academy, 2025) took one of the day’s more physical BP rounds, stepping into the right-handed batter’s box at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds. He showed inherent hand strength and stayed short to the baseball while looking to elevate gap-to-gap throughout. Mendez’s hardest ball came off his barrel at 92.6 mph, which was one of the day’s highest marks.
