2/08/26
Coming off a statement freshman campaign last spring, INF Asher Newton (Manhattan, 2028) is one of the fastest risers in the state and shows no signs of slowing down. Standing at 6-foot, 180 pounds with a swing that has already proven it can produce in-game at a high level, Newton has added even more power to his profile, peaking at 100.9 mph exit velocity with a 91.6 mph average in Sunday’s look - both among the event’s leaders. Defensively, Newton is as sure-handed as they come, with arm strength (T86 mph) that should allow him to stick on left side at the next level.

Asher Newton, Manhattan (KS), 2028
Positional Profile: SS/2B
Body: 5-9, 150-pounds. Long lean frame with room for added strength.
Hit: LHH. Tall slightly closed setup with a balanced base, weight starting on the back side, and very little pre pitch movement in hands. Uses a moderate leg lift trigger working back to even and gaining ground forward. Long flat path through the zone with a slightly uphill finish, mostly barrels, power present. 68.3 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 80.9 mph. 331' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-81 mph. Long stroke from a 3/4 slot.
Defense: Confident athletic actions defensively.
ATH: 7.06 runner in the 60. 1.66 and 3.85 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 21.50 max vertical.
