Left-handed hitting infielder, Cayden Hart (Lakes Community, 2023), made his trip from Northern Illinois worthwhile. The 6-foot-1, 172-pound Hart looked the part on the infield, handling himself well on the move with rhythmic footwork. He played low to the ground throughout, showed steady hands that worked out front, and delivered accurate throws to first base. Hart’s funnel to second base on his double play feed was clean and he also controlled his body well on the run through play. Hart showed actions capable of sticking on the infield in the long term. Offensively, Hart swings with aggression and an intentful look in the box. Hart stays controlled through his finish, has natural lift to his swing and drives hard contact into both gaps. Also, ran a 7.34 60.
