 C PJ Hamel (Arrowhead, 2025) impressed in Sheboygan for a second straight year after emerging as a winner at the 2022 Eastern Wisconsin Open. The to-be junior backstop stands at an ultra-projectable 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with long levers. At the plate, Hamel starts from a relaxed setup and uses a slightly uphill path to generate hard contact. During BP, he took one of the louder rounds of the day, registering a max exit velocity of 91.4 mph, and a peak distance of 348 feet. Defensively, Hamel had the strongest arm from behind the dish, with his best bullet coming in at 78 mph. He was also quick out of the chute, with pop times in the 2.18-2.20 range. An exciting, high-ceiling player that projects well. 

Providing some of the best power on Monday was 1B/LHP Zach Le Mieux (Notre Dame Academy, 2024), a strong 6-foot-1, 230-pound prospect who finished with one of the highest EV’s of the Eastern Wisconsin Open. Maxing out at 92.9 mph, Le Mieux swung a loud BP, featuring strong hands and a whippy swing from a calm, upright stance. The strength the left-handed hitter produces allows him to drive the baseball with ease, a quality characteristic in his game as he enters his final year of prep baseball. Le Mieux showcased a steady glove at first base and quality actions on the mound, rounding out an overall successful day.
