Two 2025 prospects from Belleville West (IL) flashed intriguing tools at yesterday’s workout: OF/RHP John Hilpert and OF William Fessel. Hilpert’s hardest throw from the outfield clocked in at 84 mph, and he bumped his fastball up to 80 mph in his ‘pen. He also flashed above-average bat strength for his age in BP, sending his furthest batted ball 323 feet while averaging 22.2 mph of hand speed, per Blast Motion. Fessel ran the second-fastest 60-yard dash of the entire event, and the fastest of any underclassmen, dashing his way to a 7.08 time on our lasers. He showed loose athletic hands and a flat path to contact in BP, working primarily to the pull-side.

Body: 5-9, 155-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Athletic base. Smooth load into back hip. Short stride. Hits with rhythm and balance throughout. Compact, uphill bat path. Used the middle of the field.

Arm: RH. OF - 71 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
