RHP/INF Payton Soske (Barrington, 2023) is a lanky 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-hander with some upside. His arm works clean from a high ¾ slot that produces a heavy sinking fastball (84-85 mph), complimenting a short tight slider (74-77 mph) really well. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a simple/strong swing that stays on-plane through the zone, favoring his pull-side with hard contact. Soske registered a peak exit velocity of 93.1 mph with a furthest batted ball of 336 feet. He also ran a 7.30 60 and topped at 84 mph across the infield.
