2/24/24
MIF/OF Easton Newman (Deerfield, 2026) continues to be a name-to-know in the Illinois 2026 class. Currently ranked No. 46 in the state, the right-handed hitter put together an impressive round, reaching up to 91.9 mph with an average EV of 86.5 mph. He has loose, athletic hands, creating some whip through the zone with advanced rotational acceleration (18.1 G’s avg; T20.9 G’s). He showed quick feet with athletic actions in both the infield and outfield, ranging easily to both sides of his glove to pair with a strong arm from both positions (T86 INF; T90 OF). Highly athletic prospect, cruising to a 6.92 in the 60 with a max vertical jump of 32.4”.

Coming off a successful spring where he found time on Deerfield’s varsity roster, as a freshman INF/OF Easton Newman (Deerfield) is an athletic multi-positional follow in the 2026 class. The 5-foot-10, 155-pound prospect posted a 6.94 60 time before demonstrating soft, athletic hands defensively from the infield with a strong arm to pair across the diamond (84 mph). With similar actions from the outfield, he posted an 86 mph bullet on his best throw to home. Offensively, Newman swings a quick, direct right-handed barrel with an aggressive approach and stable bat-to-ball skills to pair.
