RHP Hayden Ralston (Galesburg Area, 2026) had the loudest showing in the bullpen during the event. Ralston has an athletic 5-foot-10, 169-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength. The right-hander operates from an easy, controlled delivery with a quick, short arm action from a ¾ slot. His fastball sat 86-87 mph while topping out at 88.2 mph, which was the best in the showcase. The pitch had an average spin rate of 2395 RPM (2555 RPM max) with an average induced vertical break of 19.9 inches (23 inches max). Ralston’s curveball sat 72-75 mph with an average horizontal movement of -5.5 inches with an average induced vertical break of 1.1 inches. He also showed a changeup that sat 80-82 mph with an average spin rate of 1793 RPM with an average horizontal movement of 15.9 inches (20.8 inches max). At the plate Ralston hit the second hardest hit ball of the event (96.2 mph), ran a 6.95 60 time, and had the day’s best bat speed numbers - 80.9 mph avg, 84.4 mph max.
