4/09/25

A trio of Indiana prospects made the trip over the border and stood out, with INF Andrew Jones (Undecided, 2029), OF/RHP Paulie Hobbs (Hanover Central, 2029) and LHP Townes Cinninger (St. Joseph, 2029) all showing well on the day.

Hobbs showed impressive strength for his age with a peak EV of 97 mph, also creating length through the zone with an intentful swing.

Hobbs also gave a loud look on the mound with a fastball up to 83 mph.

OF/RHP Paulie Hobbs (Hanover Central, 2029) will be a name to follow in the Indiana 2029 class. He has a physically mature frame, but still has room to develop and fill out in the coming years, coming in at 5-foot-10, 170-pounds. He has well above-average arm-strength, topping out at 80.6 mph on the mound and 82 mph from the outfield. His right-handed swing has some present strength as well, reaching up to 85.2 mph for his max EV.
