OF Sage Lelm (Morton, 2028) was a winner for out staff over the summer circuit, and he continues to look like a name to watch. Listed at 5-foot-10, 195-pounds with broad, round shoulders and evenly proportioned strength throughout, the right-handed hitter showed some big power potential throughout his round of BP with a peak EV of 95 mph while averaging 91 mph - also reaching up to 362’ for his peak distance. He has a simple and compact swing with strength at impact, working with intent through the zone and some feel to elevate to his pull-side. There’s some present athleticism with a 7.26 in the 60, and you can expect that to get better throughout the coming years. He pairs all of this with a strong arm, reaching up to 85 mph from a crow hop.
Positional Profile: SS/OF
Body: 5-11, 195 pounds. Sturdy, well-proportioned frame.
Hit: RHH. Crouched slightly open setup, small leg lift load with minimal stride. Simple and compact with strength, intent through the zone with some feel to lift pull-side. 71.9 mph bat speed with 24g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 mph max exit velocity (90.7 avg.).
Arm: RH. OF - 85 mph. Medium draw out of the glove, high ¾ slot.
Defense: Two-hand gather off front foot, ranges well going back.
Athletic Testing: 7.26 runner in the 60-yard dash; 26.40-inch max vertical jump.
Sage Lelm (Tremont, 2028) showcased a strong, athletic frame, with a developed lower half, moving well throughout the weekend. Lelm was finding barrels consistently, which included a grand slam Friday and another two-run home run in the Semi Final game on Sunday. His impressive performance helped provide the offensive start to lead WOW Factor to the championship game. He finished the championship game going 2-for-3 with an RBI double to help be one of the offensive leaders in WOW Factor’s 10-0 championship victory. The right-handed hitter displayed an aggressive approach, looking to drive the ball and generate high exit velocity. An overall impressive weekend from the right-handed outfielder.
