Arguably the biggest upside of anyone in attendance belongs to 6-foot-7, 195-pound, RHP Wes Hunt (Peoria Christian, 2022). Hunt controls his body well, given his extremely long, loose levers and showed a repeatable delivery. The arm works long and clean with minimal effort and his fastball sat 84-86 mph, touching 87 (up from 82 mph this past summer). Hunt also showed feel for a three-pitch mix including a fading changeup at the bottom of the zone and a 72-74 mph curveball with occasional depth and the ability to land for a strike. High-upside arm to keep an eye on.
