Standing at 6’3” and 211 lbs with a strong, imposing frame that immediately stands out. He ran a 7.65 60-yard dash with a 17.7 mph top run speed and posted a 20.6-inch vertical jump, showing steady athleticism for his size. His 1.21 RSI max and impressive grip strength (RH 141.2 / LH 142.5) underline the natural strength and physicality that translated directly to his game. At the plate, Szakacs showcased legitimate light-tower power; he produced some of the loudest contact of the day. He recorded a 102.3 mph max exit velocity (second-best at the event), a 96.2 mph average EV, and a 388-foot max distance (event best). Every round featured loud barrels and heavy contact off the bat. While there were moments where the swing path got long, when his timing was right, he was driving baseballs with serious authority. The barrel occasionally dipped under the ball, but as he continues to mature and get varsity reps, the swing should become even more consistent. The combination of strength, leverage, and bat speed gives Szakacs real middle-of-the-order potential. On the mound, Szakacs also showed intriguing upside. His fastball sat 83–84 mph, topping at 84.2 mph with over 2000 rpm spin, 17.9 inches of induced vertical break, and 15.4 inches of horizontal movement. He paired it with a 72–73 mph curveball that spun at 2200+ rpm, featuring -9.3 inches of IVB and up to -18.8 inches of horizontal movement, and a developing slider at 72–74 mph (2100+ rpm) with tighter, shorter break (-3.8 HM max). The size, strength, and feel for spin all suggest significant room for continued growth on the mound as he learns to repeat his delivery and harness his lower half more efficiently. Szakacs has the size, strength, and power tools that immediately catch attention. The bat already plays at a high level, capable of producing game-changing impact, while the arm strength and physicality give him legitimate two-way potential.
