RHP/INF Asher Krimmel (Lafayette, 2028) was one of the day's biggest standouts in his Prep Baseball debut. Krimmel kicked off the day with an explosive round of BP, utilizing his long levers (6-foot-3, 170 pounds) to average a 91.1 mph exit velocity per batted ball, thanks to exceptional bat speed, lightning-quick hands, and an advanced feel for the barrel. His best shot traveled 342 feet to the left-center gap, reaching 97.4 mph. The freshman also displayed impressive arm strength on the infield, firing an 84 mph bullet across the diamond. On the mound, Krimmel’s fastball sat at 82-83 mph, complemented by a slider and changeup mix at 73-74 mph and 74-77 mph, respectively. With impressive tools on both sides of the ball and significant upside, Krimmel is a must see in the ‘28 class.
