Cy Stephens, Oak Ridge (TN), 2025 Positional Profile: LHP/OF Body: 5-10, 200-pounds. Compact, muscular frame that features present lowerhalf strength and improved athleticism. Hit: RHH. Begins with his knees bent, feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Front leg turns inward (occasionally lifting) to fully load the back hip and upper body. Lands in a great position which creates separation prior to the backside launching. Looks to do punish the baseball to the pullside, working mainly with line drives to left field. Has serious pop to left field when he gets under one, putting several over the bullpen in left center. Shows improved hitting metrics across the board, including 4 mph of batspeed, 6 mph increase in max EV, and nearly 50 feet of max distance since February. 76.9 mph bat speed with 26 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 87.3 mph. 388' max distance. Arm: LH. OF-84 mph. 3/4 arm action with on target throws, above average arm strength. Defense: Gets to balls well on either side, gains great momentum to and through the ball. ATH: 7.63 runner in the 60.
