Vincent Mertz: OF/3B, (2025) Bishop Hartley, OH. 6-foot-2, 180-pound. (66.3 mph bat speed average). (19.4 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced athletic stance with a controlled load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is efficient, uses a simple upward swing plane and high finish. Solid from the outfield, he made throws to the infield at velocities up to 71 mph; had consistent footwork, a natural exchange, and sure hands. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Showed a high ¾ slot with a loose arm action. Showed off his speed at the event, running a swift 6.85 60-yard dash.
