Verbally committed to Wabash Valley JC.

INF/RHP Enrico Veach (Springfield, 2024) pairs athleticism and polish to provide positive impact in multiple areas on the diamond. A strong-bodied athlete at 5-foot-11, 165-pounds, Veach was on the barrel from a short, level right-handed swing throughout his BP round with balance throughout. He showed more bat strength than we had seen from him previously, averaging 91.1 mph per batted ball, up eight ticks from the winter, and hitting his hardest ball at 96.1 mph while sending his farthest 350 feet. As his offensive profile trends up, Veach continues to look the part of a sure-handed defender on the dirt, covering ground confidently with soft hands to pair. He has the arm strength to stick as well, firing an 87 mph across the diamond on his firmest bullet. On top of that, Veach hopped on the mound at this event and pitched in the low-80s, touching 85 mph, with a low-70s breaking ball that breached the 2500 RPM mark.

INF/RHP Enrico Veach (Springfield, 2024) was one of the top two-way guys of note on the day. Veach’s arm stood out without even looking at the radar gun, playing fluidly into release with noticeable looseness and ease (T80 mph). That same easy, loose arm played well on the mound, sitting an easy 82-85 mph but it was his high-spinning, tight curveball that turned heads. Veach featured arguably the best breaking ball of the day, playing with feel (75% strikes), all kinds of depth and spinning at an average of 2643, T2784. He rounded out his three-pitch mix with a mid-to-upper 70s changeup that was in the zone 60% of the time. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a fluid on-plane right-handed swing that gets extension through contact and registered a T93.2 mph exit velocity with a max batted ball of 330’.
