Evan Messenger, Catalina Foothills (AZ), 2026
Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 6-3, 159-pounds. Tall, slender frame with significant projection to add strength and fill out as he matures.
Hit: RHH. Flared feet with a controlled stride that reaches out and pauses, finishing closed while staying in the legs. Works through the middle and to all fields with balance, showing consistent barrel control. 67.1 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 86.4 mph. 343' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-74 mph.
Defense: 2.29-2.42 pop times. Sets up with a two-feet, even stance, showing a slower transfer that works up near the ear. Quick release helps offset shorter, slower steps.

Vizual Edge: 58.9 Edge Score
