Evan
Bradford

OF Evan Bradford (Homewood-Flossmoor) came away a winner from Sunday’s event. There’s a ton to dream on in his 6-foot-5, 180-pound frame, and he’s also an exciting athlete with a 6.78 in the 60. The right-hander hitter showed a loose and twitchy swing with a flat path in his round, staying on-plane with some feel to lift up the middle and pull-side (T97.7 mph EV; 90 mph avg). He’s a loose mover in the outfield with free-flowing actions, pairing with steady hands and a strong arm up to 88 mph. High-ceiling prospect with some rawness to his game, but plenty of upside to dream on.
