7/23/25
Displaying an athletic 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame with strength present throughout, Stephan was all over the barrel in Saturday’s 12-2 win. The right-hander operated out of a balanced setup, showing strong hands into a slightly uphill path. He finished 3-for-3 at the plate with a double, three RBIs, two runs, and a stolen base. An intriguing 2027 bat to keep an eye on.
2/22/25

INF Joe Stephan (Marquette Catholic, 2027) had a loud round of batting practice at the event. He has some present strength in his 5-foot-10, 194-pound frame, and he was able to work on the barrel with authority throughout his round, reaching up to 96 mph for his EV with a 353’ peak distance. He looked to try and use the middle of the field throughout, working with an uphill path with intent to elevate, utilizing controlled intent and strong hands through the baseball. He looks to be an advanced defender as well, showing natural actions and soft hands with some range, getting around the baseball and also showing a clean double play turn.
