C Kyle Binder (Brimfield, 2024) had a strong all-around showing at the event. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound, compact, strong catch, tied for the lead with a 75 mph arm from the crouch and his low pop time was recorded at 2.04, second best of the event. He is sure-handed with a clean transfer, working in-line while gaining ground. Offensively, the right-handed hitter has a relaxed, confident look in the box, a strong swing that stays short to the ball with natural lift through the zone. Binder made consistent hard contact back up the middle of the field, registering a max exit velocity of 93.2 mph (85.6 average) and max batted ball of 318 feet. He also had some of the best bat speed of the event, averaging 76.2 mph which was top-five at the event.
