RHP/OF Marcus Wolfe Jr. (University of Chicago Laboratory, 2025) is an uncommitted senior to note from the day. He took one of the loudest rounds of BP in the event, averaging 90 mph for his EV with a max of 99 mph, showing jump off the barrel with a loose and fluid swing, staying mostly pull-side throughout his round. He took a quality round of defense in the outfield, showcasing a one-hand gather to the side with fluid movements, playing through the baseball with intent into a crow hop, reaching up to 83 mph. He showed well on the mound as well with some pitchability, starting with a fastball around the 80-82 mph mark that he could also sink with over 18” of run. His best off-speed in this look was a changeup he could land around the zone with hard fading action, 67-70 mph.

Strong-bodied, 6-foot, 190-pound, RHP/OF Marcus Wolfe Jr. (University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, 2025), showed well with the bat and on the mound. On the mound his arm works loose and quick from a ¾ slot, sitting 79-80 mph with an average of 11.5 inches of horizontal movement. His curveball and slider tend to blend into a similar offering but both are thrown with conviction and the ability to land for a strike. The change up plays out of a similar window as the fastball with late fade. Offensively, Wolfe showed a quiet, compact swing with lifted contact to both gaps. He has above-average bat strength for his age as well, recording a 90.4 mph peak exit velocity as well as a max distance off the bat at 322 feet.
