1B Lance Weitekamp (Morrisonville, 2024) is an uncommitted left-handed bat to make note of. Strong-bodied, 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame, athletic with round shoulders. Easy juice from the left-handed batter’s box; simple/short load, creates extension through contact with the ability to backspin the ball, leaving the yard for a home run on the first day of gameplay. Low-effort stroke with power upside as he continues to mature physically. Steady defender at first base.
INF Tyler Cribbett (Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley, 2024) and 1B Lance Weitekamp (Morrisonville, 2024) are two uncommitted left-handed bats to know from this event: Cribbett favored the pull-side throughout his round of BP and elevated the baseball that way, repeating a short, simple, and direct swing as a result. Weitekamp offers more physical projection, standing at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds with lean strength. He backspun baseballs into the right-center gap from a level bat path, offering future intrigue from a power perspective as he continues to further fill out his frame.
Positional Profile: 1B/OF
Body: 6-1, 185-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Stock setup, short leg lift into up/down stride. Simple, Short to the baseball, level barrel through the zone. Backspins to the pull-side, ball jumps at impact. 64.9 mph bat speed with 17 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 83.5 mph. 315’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 68 mph. Short arm action, over-the-top slot.
Defense: Light on his feet, feel around the bag, steady hands.
Run: 7.39 runner in the 60.
