Uncommitted. Patterson hit out of the leadoff spot for Spects National for most of the weekend and gave them good production. His natural bat speed and quick hands brings consistently high exit velocities and barrels. His hit tool paired with a great athletic ability and speed makes him one of the more exciting players in the 2026 class. His 5’8” 155 lb frame might not jump off the page, but Patterson is still able to get a lot of power out of his swings without completely selling out. He left the yard effortlessly in one of his leadoff at bats this weekend, flashing his raw power. Plenty of tools to be excited about in this young player. High follow.
