Sommerfeldt put together the best showcase amongst upperclassmen, starting with his bullpen on Friday where he sat 85-87mph (2450+). The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander also featured a breaking ball at 74-76mph and splitter at 77-79mph. The right-handed hitter was one of the stronger players during BP, posting a peak exit velocity of 94.4mph and distance of 321ft (50% Hard Hit). From the outfield Sommerfeldt was up to 87mph which was best on the day. There are tools with some strength in his game and he’ll be a player to watch next summer on the Yankees 18U Team.
