With plenty of projection in a lean, 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame, OF Merrick Ginden (Blue Valley West, 2027) showed loud tools on both sides of the ball in his Prep Baseball debut on Sunday. Using a repeatable, long-levered swing at the plate, Ginden worked back through the middle of the field, posting a peak exit velocity of 93 mph with a strong average of 85.9 mph per batted ball - both among the top marks at the event - and with more to come as he adds strength. From the outfield Ginden fired a 84 mph mark to go along with a 6.86 60 time. As he continues to polish his skill set, look for Ginden to emerge as a name to follow in the Kansas 2027 class.
