SS Steele Hall (Daphne, 2026) has quickly made a name for himself over the past year after showing well in numerous looks last summer playing for Excel Blue Wave and seeing playing time last spring as a seventh-grader for the 7A Trojans. Now an eighth-grader, Hall is now a staple hitting at the top of the order for the 7A No. 10 Trojans and has been a key run-producer so far this spring. Hall has impressive maturity and knowledge of the game at such a young age and plays with confidence in all facets. Listed at 5-foot-9, 140-pounds, Hall has a high-waisted and wiry frame with solid athleticism that will obviously continue to fill out over the course of the next few years. The right-handed middle infielder drove in one of the two runs for the Trojans in this contest coming on a leadoff solo home run in the 1st inning. He also added a hard-hit single down the left field line with a 4.4 turn rounding 1st base, and also made all routine plays up the middle with lateral range and advanced glove-to-hand quickness. Although he’s still very young and has plenty of physical maturity left, Hall has plenty of intangibles and has a chance to be an elite prospect down the road in a few years.

Few have created the type of buzz that Hall has made over the past year, whether it be as the starting shortstop and leadoff hitter for 7A Daphne in the spring or receiving high reviews from Shooter Hunt and having LakePoint buzzing at night after turning around 90 mph for a no-doubter in the summer. No matter the setting or age group, the Tennessee recruit continues to show why he's a top prospect not just in Alabama, but in the country. The slick-fielding shortstop stands a lean/athletic 5-foot-10, 145-pounds with a physically developing frame and obvious room for projection. Steele has consistently shown the ability to handle all forms of pitchers/velocity at such a young age with surprising power hitting from the right side. He also has just as impressive defensive skills to match and plays with bounce, range and adequate arm strength on the left side of the infield. In addition to his play on the diamond, Hall can also run it up to 88 mph with high spin metrics on his fastball and breaking ball.
