Ben Kuemmel: OF/LHP, (2026) Lakota East High School, OH. 5-foot-10, 175-pound. (67.0 mph bat speed average). (19.4 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced quiet stance with a compact load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed is efficient, has a simple upward swing plane and high finish. Solid from the outfield, he displayed a position velocity of 84 mph; has a natural exchange, soft hands, and quick feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Used a loose arm action and a high ¾ slot.
