INF Ian Kawczynski (Catholic Memorial, 2026) is an athletic middle infielder who had another solid day and continues to impress our staff in-event. He measured 6-foot, 161 pounds and will continue to fill and add strength to his projectable frame. He started off his day by recording the fifth best vertical jump at 31.5 inches and ran a 6.94 60-yard dash. Kawczynski showcased what he can do with the glove as well, showing off his clean actions in the middle with rangy first-step quickness and an accurate arm that plays from multiple angles. With the bat, the right-handed hitter drove the ball with quick hands and a short inside path to leverage the baseball out front. He was all over the barrel throughout his round recording an average exit velocity of 85.4 mph and a max exit velocity of 90.9 mph.

Kaeczynski impressed at the top of a talented GRB STiKS lineup. Athletic, 6-foot, 155-pound frame with plenty of upside. At the plate, showed a simple swing that stayed through the ball and flashed power potential with an inside-the-park home run on Saturday. Quick runner out of the box. Also displayed above average actions up the middle. An interesting prospect to watch as he physically matures.
