Had a quality showing on both sides of the ball Sunday. Stands in at an athletic 5-foot-8, 174-pounds. The right-handed hitter had three hits on the day, two of which were doubles. Ablin showed some foot speed out of the box consistently, and his athleticism carried over to the outfield where he showed range in left field, and even made a sliding grab early in the game.

The trio of incoming juniors SS/RHP Jonny Lee (Romeoville, 2025), C/3B Peyton Ablin (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025), and SS/RHP Dylan Visvadra (Huntley, 2025) all impressed. At the plate, Lee showed a simple and repeatable approach with a bat path that was consistently level and on-plane. Ablin had a repeatable and level swing that was on-plane, and he produced one of the highest max exit velocities of the event (94.3 mph). Visvadra showed a simple swing path during BP and showed middle-of-the-field power. His defense was arguably his best attribute during the workout, showing smooth and easy actions with a loose arm.
