Colin McCormick (2023 SS, Kenilworth, IL) showed some two-way potential on the mound yesterday, and he flashed his offensive upside today. The right-handed hitter crushed a deep flyball to the warning track in left-center field and motored around the bases for a triple.
Ty Mikkelsen (2024 SS, Grimes, IA) also flashed some intriguing two-way potential today. He tossed a dominant two innings on the mound, striking out three opposing batters and allowing just one hit. He ran his fastball up to 83 mph and featured a true, four-pitch mix with notable movement to each. He collected a sharply-hit single to left field as well.
Brek Sloan (2024 C, Grain Valley, MO) made quick work of the opposing lineup, tossing two no-hit innings and striking out five or the seven batters he faced. His fastball topped out at 81 mph and he missed plenty of bats with his curveball. At the plate, he collected a hustle double after hitting a hard line drive over the shortstop's head.
Jonathan Torres (2024 2B, Des Plaines, IL) was seeing the ball extremely well today, as he collected three hits in total. He started off with two line drive singles, and finished with a deep flyball to the left-center field gap for a triple. He found the barrel consistently and proved to have some pop in his bat.
Justin Vera-Medina (2024 3B, Chicago, IL) made the loudest contact of the day, dropping the bat head one for a no-doubt home run to left-field. The primary third baseman has a strong and physical 6-foot, 200-pound frame with big power potential.
Hiram Lewis (2025 RHP, Brentwood, TN) is a young arm with intriguing upside. He stands at an uber-projectable 6-foot-4, 175-pounds, and he proved to have swing and miss potential today, as he struck out eight opposing batters in his three innings and allowed just one hit. He ran his fastball up to 84 mph and featured an impressive breaking ball with good depth and two-plane shape.
