An intriguing frame at 6'2 and 219 lbs. presently Rudnev quickly catches your eye. The toolset for the corner profile defender with two-way upside to his game was strong across the board. A strong runner for his size Rudnev posted a 7.23 60 yard sprint time giving you plenty of comfort projecting the athletic ability on him to be a solid defender who has 80 MPH present INF velocity with carry to his throws to project a future at 3B for him. At the plate there is impact in his RH swing that produces 75.7 MPH of bat speed. It's not just power for Rudnev who reached 102.6 MPH on his max exit velocity for the day, but there is also feel to hit for the physical RH hitter who averaged 94.4 MPH exit velocity over his batting practice session with a 73% hard hit rate and 45% sweet spot rate. Rudnev crushed a 387' max distance blast on a pull side HR and all told looked the part of a potential middle of the order bat who could handle 3B defensively long term. For good measure his athleticism was on display during a sound bullpen session with quality present stuff. Rudnev lived at 82.3-84 MPH on his FB with solid present spin on the pitch north of 2000 RPMs during the bullpen. Where he stands out on the mound at present was in his feel to spin two different breaking balls that each have interesting present spin and shapes. The SLD for Evan lived at 74.6-76.2 MPH while averaging over 2400 RPMs of spin on each offering. He then drops in a solid CB in the 72.5-74.2 MPH range with 2300 RPMs of average spin to the pitch. His fourth pitch is another quality offering in his CHG which lived 78-79.7 that he threw for strikes, but has heavy spin on the pitch at present minimizing his vertical separation off the FB, but does feature action to his arm side. All in all there is plenty to love about everything Rudnev brings to the baseball field on each side of the game and will be a name to follow closely in the 2028 class.
