The biggest winner on the underclass side of things, Birdzell showed outstanding elevations to his toolset to pair with the quality actions that jumped out at our Freshman All-State in February. His 6-foot-3, 170 pound frame looks the part of a high-end shortstop prospect and his foot speed took a loud step up at this event (6.86). His best work was done in the box, spraying liners all across the yard with his best ball struck at 94.6 mph. It is easy to project power to continue to blossom with the long-levered frame, but the control and repeatability within the operation really jumped out to me. He followed batting practice with a polished, low-pulse look on the dirt with abv avg arm strength for the age. Slam dunk follow in the class that elevated his stock in a serious fashion at this event...

Callum Birdzell is a 2028 SS/2B from Cathedral High School (IN) with a highly projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame and a polished look for his age. The right-handed hitter is a smooth mover at the dish with a more linear operation and a direct path that should louden with strength gains. He recorded an 87 mph max exit velocity, 79.3 mph average, and 306’ max distance, showing early signs of impact. Defensively, Birdzell moves with easy pace, showing on-time feet, a playable transfer, and a clean arm at 76 mph, fitting the mold of a future left-side defender. He’s a 7.25 runner with a 25.2” vertical, and his combination of athleticism, length, and feel makes him a big follow in Indiana’s 2028 class.
