1B/RHP Ethan Rogers (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025) gave an intriguing look on Monday. He stands out physically with his 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame that boasts present strength, and his strength comes into play in multiple ways. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has strong hands with a flat path, working quick through the zone while staying on the barrel with authority, staying up the middle of the field and to his pull-side with a max EV of 94.2 mph (89.2 mph avg.). He showed well defensively with quality actions and a steady glove, showing clear feel for the position. On the mound, the right-hander worked in the 82-83 mph range while topping out at 84 mph, playing with carry and arm-side life. He flashed some feel for his curveball, sitting around 64-66 mph with sweeping action. His final offering was a changeup at 73-74 mph, thrown with confidence and mostly straight action for strikes.

OF/RHP Ethan Rogers (Lincoln-Way Central) was another 2025 prospect to emerge as a follow from this event. Rogers showed athletic hands with above-average hand speed (23.2 mph) and kept his barrel in the zone while staying level to contact. He worked gap-to-gap and stayed on the barrel, flashing upside in the power department should he further fill out his 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame as he continues to age. And keep an eye out for him on the bump, too. While the velocity has not yet materialized (77.3 mph high), Rogers’ fastball tends to jump through the zone already, backed by quality spin that boosts its projection. His fastball features hard arm-side run that complements his sweeping breaking ball, creating a follow mix for the freshman.
