10/04/22

True sophomore. Athletically built at 6-foot, 190-pounds. Palmer started his day off with a 6.69 60-yard dash, the second best in the event. The right-handed hitter uses a simple/repeatable swing that finds the barrel consistently, favoring his pull-side throughout his round while also going up the middle with line-drives and a 94.5 mph max exit velocity. Last season, Palmer hit his way to a .314 batting average in 105 at-bats with 20 RBIs and 27 runs scored. Former infielder, his athleticism easily allowed him to transfer over to the outfield, where he boasts athletic actions and fluid footwork up to and through the ball, reaching up to 82 mph from a crow-hop. Scrappy top of the order profile with above-average speed and versatility around the diamond.

Unsigned senior, ranked No. 276 in the Illinois 2021 class. Highly-athletic 6-foot, 185-pound frame featuring a strong lower half. Right-handed hitter, started at second base and led off for Neuqua. Palmer, a 6.85 runner in the 60, impressed throughout the day defensively. His speed plays on the infield, showing advanced range and the ability to keep balls in front hit to both sides. Smooth hands, quick and clean release. Ability to stick on the infield moving forward. Offensively, athletic, compact right-handed swing and maintains balance throughout. Finished 0-for-3 with a walk. Follow unsigned senior middle infielder.
