Landon
Clements

An upside sophomore that stood out on the day was MIF Landon Clements (McHenry, 2027). Standing in at 5-foot-11, 155-pounds, Clements has a lean, high-waisted frame that still holds plenty of room to fill out. The left-handed hitter has a lot to like in his operation at the plate, controlling his levers well with a loose and whippy swing, reaching up to 90 mph for his max EV. Clements also displayed soft hands on the infield, utilizing a two-hand funnel into his body while also showing the ability to play on the move.
