Notes

9/26/25
Arnold made a loud impression at Bushnell, showcasing one of the more fluid left-handed swings in the two days of gameplay at Bushnell. In the final game of the event, Arnold jumped on the first pitch he saw for an opposite-field double and followed it up in his next at-bat with a roped single into right field—one of the hardest hit balls put in play in the contest. The swing projects well, featuring a smooth, rhythmic path with slight uphill lift and extended barrel time in the hitting zone. His athleticism stood out both at the plate and defensively, with the present tools to catch but the long-term projection likely fitting at 3B given his body type and the room left to fill out physically. The bat will carry the profile, with early signs of pullside power developing alongside an already advanced hit tool. A breakout weekend makes Arnold a must-follow name in California’s 2028 class.
