INF/OF Dalton Close (Shawnee Mission Northwest, 2028) was one of the top underclass performers of the day. The 5-foot-8, 150-pound athlete offers a projectable frame with plenty of room to add strength. Close showed a smooth right-handed swing, consistently barreling balls to the pull side and peaking at 94.2 mph exit velocity. Defensively, he posted an 81 mph infield velocity and ran a 6.90-second 30-yard dash. Look for Close to make an impact for the Cougars this spring.
