Estevan
Moreno

Notre Dame commit, currently ranked No. 7 in Illinois and No. 133 in the country. Strong, wide-shouldered build, 6-foot-2, 200-pounds with evenly distributed weight. Started at shortstop and hit out of the three-hole for Montini, finding multiple barrels throughout the game with a double and a hard-hit single. The right-handed hitter starts in an athletic stance, knees slightly bent, moving into a repeatable toe-tap stride that starts early and remains on-time. His hands work short to the ball with a compact swing, easy bat-strength, especially out front, works to the gaps and displayed power to the pull-side. On the infield, Moreno showed easy range to both sides of his glove, moving confidently with soft hands and fluid footwork; also made a diving stop to his back-hand in the hole to save a run from scoring. High-level right-handed bat that projects to stay on the infield at the next level.
