INF Sylvester Tournier (DeSmet Jesuit, 2025) came away from this event as a physical 6-foot-1, 185-pound athlete to follow in the state’s sophomore class. Tournier’s balance and polish offensively stood out in BP as he worked line drives to all fields from a short, direct right-handed swing. TrackMan confirmed his knack for the barrel, as Tournier posted the highest sweet-spot rate (90%) of the entire event, and his 80% line drive rate finished near the top of all qualified hitters, too. His max exit velocity (92.8 mph) and furthest batted ball (329 ft.) are two metrics that should only continue to trend upward as he continues to add strength. Tournier showed advanced offensive traits for his age at this event and he’s one to watch for a talented DeSmet team this spring.
