There was plenty of buzz surrounding Wendt entering the Super 17 and he certainly didn’t disappoint, exceeding our expectations in the process. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Creighton commit recorded the weekend’s hardest fastball, producing low-90s heat that topped at 94 mph from an ultra-quick arm. Wendt’s fastball exploded into the zone, playing with flat four-seam ride out of his hand. He mixed in a handful of mid-70s curveball with sharp spin off a high arch throughout his outing as well. A former PBR Future Gamer, Wendt looked the part of a high-follow arm in the Midwest’s 2023 MLB Draft cycle
