Ruhmel

Physical: 5-foot-8, 140 pounds; Athletic, slender build. 7.48 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a compact swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 83 MPH via Trackman. Displayed the ability to line the ball to the opposite field.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while being aggressive. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - 79 MPH. 

Physical: Lean, lanky 5-foot-7, 120lb frame with athleticism found. 7.62 runner in the 60. 

Offensively: RHH - Wider attack position as the waist bent out over the plate to start. Utilized a slow leg-hang to initiate the swing through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone. Stayed over the backside stacked up with the ability to connect early in ball flight, generating good leverage at the front of the plate. Recorded a T80 mph bat-exit velocity (via Trackman) en route to an impressive 67% line drive rate with bat to ball skills present. Consistently on-time to different zones, phasing into a stiff, adjustable front-side at impact. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated a highly up-tempo round of defense, shot out of a cannon downhill with momentum gained in the routes. Fielded off his left, immediately releasing from the transfer at a shorter H slot (accurate, 78 mph arm, natural feel). Room to continue development.

Physical: Lean, wiry 5-foot-5, 110-pound frame with athleticism in the movements and room to add strength / fill out as he matures. 7.68 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Crouched, even stance with the hands starting at a 45 degree angle out in front of the shoulder in the setup. Utilized a knee knock stride to initiate the hands through a flat barrel path and into the hitting zone; featured a big “gather load” deep at the shoulder creating a weight shift towards the front side during the swing. Stayed behind the baseball well at impact allowing the hands to get through extension with no issues. Long levers got to the baseball short and quick repeatedly finding the barrel on pitches in any quadrant. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 76 mph per Trackman Baseball / impressive 58% line drive rate during his round with a mainly middle of the field approach. Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated active footwork approaching the ball off of the left side of his body with downhill momentum towards the target, quick first step from a medium center of gravity, natural feel for the movements in space. Quality transfers to the ear while the arm worked through an accurate, high slot with quickness to it on throws from his position. OF - 73 mph

Physical: Compact, athletic build. 7.96 runner in the 60; 4.57 home-to-1B.
Offensively: RHH. Upright stance with a wide base, a slight bend in the knees, hands start high and work back on load along with a tiny leg lift for timing Short, direct barrel path working uphill after the point of contact. Up the middle approach. 66 MPH raw exit velocity.
Defensively: Consistent footwork fielding the ball on the inside of his arm foot, plays well on the run. Long arm swing with a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 67 MPH. 

Offensively- the right handed hitter stands in the box in tall stance and feet shoulder width apart. Displayed short path to the baseball. The 2023 graduate displayed hard contact to the pull side of the field. Stays balanced throughout the swing. Defensively, the 2023 graduate gets in a good position before fielding the baseball. Gets rid of the baseball quickly from a mid 3/4 arm slot.
