Notes

3/28/25
Max Bell, OF, Montini, 2025 Upper Iowa football commit. Strong, compact 5-foot-10, 164-pound frame, round shoulders with present strength throughout. Started in centerfield and hit out of the three-hole for the Broncos. Didn’t have anything to show for it on the day, going 0-for-1 and walking twice, but he showed an athletic right-handed swing with quick hands in the hacks he did take. A defensive back on the gridiron, his athleticism easily translates to the outfield with soft hands and quick, fluid feet. His arm also showed above-average in IO with life out of the hand and carry to the plate.

Uncommitted. Compact, 5-foot-9, 185-pound frame with round shoulders and some sneaky strength throughout. The right-handed hitter was on the barrel a couple times, lining out twice to the outfield. His swing is fluid and flat through the zone, boasting some upside as he continues to mature. On the infield, he’s an above-average defender with steady actions, working confidently through the ball while also making some less routine plays throughout the day. Follow 2025 prospect.
