+ One of the loudest rounds of BP came from C Luke Bolender (St. Charles North, 2022; IL) who is a strong 5-foot-11 backstop to know from this event. At the plate, Bolender swings an aggressive right-handed bat that reached highs of 97.9 mph on his hardest hit ball and averaged 92 mph, too. During his round, Bolender routinely deposited balls over the left-field fence, six of them going over 350 feet. Behind the plate, Bolender was also impressive, as he featured a quick catch and release with arm strength (T78 mph) that helped him record pop times in the 1.95-2.15 range.
