Anderson Hasting

1. Anderson Hasting, 3B/RHP, Jonathan Alder

Solid, athletic prospect that registered a 5.19 40-yard dash. He is a legitimate two-way prospect. In the field, he shows soft hands and above average footwork. He uses long arm action through a high ¾ arm slot to reach a top velocity of 81 mph across the infield. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a fluid rhythm to his swing. He uses an explosive lower half with quick bat speed. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher uses quick, long arm action through a ¾ arm slot. He shows excellent command of an 83-87 mph fastball with late run. His curve sits at 69-73 mph and late, 10/4 breaking action. His changeup is thrown near fastball arm speed and sits at 66-67 mph with fading action.

Nick Glanzman 

2. Nick Glanzman, 3B/SS, Pickerington North
Tall, athletic prospect that registered a 5.26 40-yard dash. In the field, he shows the versatility and range to play a number of positions. He displays quick, fluid footwork and soft hands. His exchange is quick and under control as he reaches a top velocity of 79 mph using short arm action through a high ¾ arm slot. At the plate, the right-handed hitter uses a wide setup with quick bat speed. His power will only increase as he better incorporates his lower half.

Aaron Hoffman 

3. Aaron Hoffman, 3B, Jackson
Solid, thick prospect that registered a 5.52 40-yard dash. In the field, he shows above average hands with room to improve the quickness of his foot-work. He reached a top velocity of 81 mph across the infield. At the plate, he uses a slightly open stance with a short stride. He take a short path to the ball and shows some pop in his bat.

Ryan Rogers 

4. Ryan Rogers, 1B/OF, Avon
Ripped, athletic prospect that registered a 5.2 40-yard dash. He has the potential to play first base or outfield. He reached a top velocity of 78 mph. At the plate, the left-handed hitter uses rotational mechanics with an explosive lower half and quick bat speed. He shows some pop in his swing.

Aaron Heber 

5. Aaron Heber, 1B/RHP, Delaware Hayes
Big, thick two-way prospect that registered a 5.64 40-yard dash. In the field, he shows average footwork around the bag at first base. He reached a top velocity of 76 mph across the infield. At the plate, he uses rotational mechanics with quick bat speed and power potential. At times, his front side leaks causing some mechanical issues, but he shows a potential middle of the order bat at a small school. On the mound, he is an arm strength guy at this point. He shows average arm speed through a high ¾ arm slot. He sat at 80 mph and topped at 81 mph with his fastball, which has some run. He needs to improve the command of his 66-67 mph curveball and 72 mph changeup.

 

Best of the Rest

Ben Lemaster, 3B, Anderson
Big, thick prospect that registered a 5.57 40-yard dash. In the field, he shows average glove work with room to improve his foot speed and range. He uses short arm action through a high ¾ arm slot to reach a top velocity of 71 mph across the infield. At the plate, he uses a balanced setup with a short stride. He will improve his overall power by better incorporating his lower half into his swing.

Chris Angle, 3B/1B, Canal Winchester
Big, thick prospect that registered a 5.85 40-yard dash. At the next level, he likely projects as a first baseman. He shows average footwork and hands.

Using an explosive lower half and quick bat speed, he shows pull power.

Joseph Gentile, C/3B, Defiance
Strong, solid prospect that registered a 5.68 40-yard dash. At the next level, he likely projects as a catcher, but shows the ability to potentially play a corner position.

Behind the plate, his pop time fluctuated between 2.0-2.29 while reaching a peak velocity of 74 mph. At the plate, the right-handed hitter produces solid contact.
