Checking in at 6-foot, 180-pounds, we got a good look at 2027 graduate Connor Fyfe - a two-way out of the Eagles program. At the plate he's got a strong foundation, starting from a comfortable position while keeping his barrel through the zone into a clean follow-through. Fyfe did well to get his hands extended, and while there's some drop in his leg, it's nothing that affects his swings as he reached a peak exit velocity of 83.4 mph and a max carry distance of 251 feet. On the mound he's still developing, and while his actions work he had trouble at times finding the zone. Fyfe has an arm-side fastball that lived 73-75 mph and played off it well a 69-71 mph changeup. He's got two breaking ball options, a curveball at 60-61 mph and a slider at 69-70 mph, which serves as the better of the two. There's still time for Fyfe to develop with a frame that can take on more mass as he matures.
