C Haaken Hovestol (Delavan-Darien, 2027) continued to impress in front of our staff. Hovestol is listed at an athletic 5-foot-11 171 pounds with more fill and strength coming. His smooth and balanced left handed swing allows him to consistently barrel the ball up and he has the ability to drive the ball to both gaps for power. Hovestol drove a ball 312 feet which was the ninth furthest ball hit at the event. Hovestol also showed advanced skill behind the plate and was able to register a 2.11 pop time to second base showcasing his quick feet and transfer on throws. We are looking forward to seeing continued development from Hovestol this winter and going into the spring season.
One of the top backstops from the weekend, Hovestol made a name for himself due to his advanced all around skill set behind the plate. A quiet receiver with soft hands that are able to steal strikes off the plate with relative ease. Also a soft blocker that deadens the baseball and is able to keep it in front of him with the capability to block out of multiple setups. Offensively Hovestol swings a powerful left handed bat geared for driving the ball in the air. Hovestol is able to easily repeat his swing without effort and drive the ball to all fields.
Hovestol has a projectable frame, strength throughout, stock set up from left side, short swing direct path with loft finish. Sets well behind plate, receives well, keeps ball in front.

Run: 5.47 runner home-to-first.
