6-foot-2, 218-pound frame, strong and durable build with strength throughout. The right-handed hitter took one of the loudest rounds of BP on the day, reaching as high as 103.4 mph for his max EV with an average of 99.5 mph, also measuring his farthest hit ball at 404’. He creates all sorts of bat-speed through the zone, averaging nearly 82 mph while peaking at 88.5 mph according to BLAST. He has a wider, slightly open base that works back to even with his stride, firing through the zone with strong hands and a flat path, looking to elevate to his pull-side. Steady hands on the infield with a strong arm (T88 mph INF). 7.20 runner in the 60. Hit his way to a .339 average in 62 at-bats last spring.
+ INF Daniel Blickhan (West Chicago, 2023; IL) is a strong 6-foot-2, 205-pound infielder who was all over the barrel during Thursday’s scout day.

His batted ball metrics were also impressive too, as his hardest hit ball came off at 103 mph and he averaged 93.1 mph as well.
