Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
Smooth mover with some of the better middle infield actions of the day. Soft hands pair with fundamental footwork, arm strength is average at this point. Defense leads the profile at this point, but does show feel to hit with a well-paced right-handed swing. Strength gains will pay dividends.

Nolan Hodnett is a 2027 shortstop from William Henry Harrison HS with a lean, athletic 5-foot-10, 150-pound frame and quick-twitch actions. Offensively, Hodnett hits from a balanced setup with a short, connected stroke that works on a flat path. He showed barrel feel, posting a 90 mph max exit velocity and averaging 82 mph, with a 296’ peak distance. Defensively, he’s a smooth mover with quality infield actions and an athletic arm that plays at 81 mph across. A 7.18 runner with a 21.5” vertical, Hodnett brings athleticism to both sides of the ball and profiles as a high-energy MIF with upside as he continues to add strength.

5-foot-9, 140-pound frame, Hodnett showed all his tools in Friday night's game. The right-handed batter went 1-for-3 on the day including a line drive single. Hitting in the two-hole Hodnett stood in a wide spread out stance, followed by a simple quick swing that gets the barrel to the ball. While he may have not had his best game with the bat, where he really impressed was at shortstop. Hodnett put together one of the best defensive performances of the day, showcasing his range, footwork, hands, and arm talent. The rangy defender made a pair of difficult plays look easy, one including a sliding backhand grab followed by a strong throw to 1st. He showed the ability to be quick with his hands and ability to have strong on-target throws from a range of arm slots. The defensive abilities are present and as Hodnett continues to grow he will be a name to watch in the 2027 class.
