Hughes was one of the main attractions last summer at the Junior Future Games patrolling CF and hitting in the middle of the JFG1 lineup that went all the way to the semi-finals. There’s lots to like about the strong/athletic frame with good tracking and a quick first step who was up to 87 mph. In the box, he looked to elevate pull-side hitting multiple deep fly balls, with one clearing the fence without a doubt. There’s no doubt Hughes is one of the better 2025 outfielders in the country and he will be a close follow this summer.

Hughes, a 5-foot-11, 170-pounds uncommitted 2025 outfielder for the Ontario Blue Jays was a standout at the Junior Future Game Trials throughout the whole day. In the outfield Hughes showed a long live arm with good carry on his ball. He got his body behind all his throws with a quick first step. At the plate Hughes had a loud round with barrels throughout it. Had a really twitchy swing with an aggressive lower half and quick hands. Hughes had one of the highest exit velos topping 91Mph on the day. With a built body that is still growing Hughes will be an interesting name to follow.
