Caleb Prendergast (Evanston, 2028) was another young infield prospect with a projectable right-handed swing. Despite an inconsistent round he features quality movement patterns with loose hands, fluidness throughout and stays on-plane. Name to watch in the coming years.
Prendergast ran his fastball up to 81 mph, playing clean out of the hand with occasional run. He then showed the ability to land a 67-68 mph slider that played vertically with short break. Prendergast rounded out his mix with a heavy-fading changeup (avg. 18.8” HM) at 71-74 mph.
