INF Drew Messey (Westminster Christian, 2026) was another incoming freshman that impressed at this event. There's plenty of room for him to fill out his 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame as he continues to grow, and he showed a natural feel to elevate the baseball from the left side of the plate in BP. Messey's sure-handed actions played well on the infield and he fired a 75 mph high across the diamond from a loose, athletic arm slot.
