Fernandez

One of the toolsier and more projectable prospects of the day was OF Logan Fernandez (Mount Carmel, 2026). He’s a premier athlete with a 6.67 in the 60, though we’ve had him down to a 6.41 in the past. The right-handed hitter has an upside swing with some length and extension through the zone, averaging 90 mph for his EV with a peak of 97.7 mph - also averaging 74 mph for his bat-speed and 22 mph for his hand-speed. In the outfield, Fernandez is a fluid mover with long/athletic strides, covering ground with ease and looking to be comfortable tracking fly balls. His arm strength has ticked up tremendously, reaching up to 96 mph from a crow hop which is nine mph higher than the summer.
