2028 Grayson Fontaine (North Penn)
Fontaine stands 6-4, 220 pounds with a premium, physical frame and obvious present strength. Right-handed hitter showed 72.7 mph Bat Speed with 12g Rotational Acceleration, and the impact side was loud: 98.4 EV Avg / 107 EV Max with 387 ft Max Distance. For the size, the movement profile is solid. Left-handed defensive arm showed 89 mph OF velo. On the mound, fastball worked 88-90 mph with 2166-2308 rpm, 12.5 IVB, and -8.2 HM, giving the pitch a heavy look from the left side. Breaking ball and changeup both showed useful separation.

Physical: Large, advanced 6-foot-1, 185-pound build. 4.49 runner in the 30YD.
Offensively: RHH. Upright, simple stance, as the hands started at the chest. Utilized a slower toe-tap stride to initiate a violent swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Whippy finish produced multiple loud pull-side blasts; 36% FB rate, up to an estimated 290FT (T88MPH EV). Much more to come.
Defensively: The first baseman showed natural feel around the bag with choppy footwork and clean pocket awareness. Fielded in the center of his body and delivered a 78MPH throwing arm.
Pitching: LHP. Stays coiled on the backside with late acceleration down the mound. Some shoulder tilt on an 80-81MPH FB from H ¾ slot. Mixed sweeping 66-68MPH CB and quality low-70’s CH.
Physical: Lean, developing 5-foot-10, 150lb build with RTF. 8.63 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Wider, balanced stance that gets into the legs, as the hands operate upright in front of the chest. Utilized a leg-lift stride/backload combo to initiate the swing through a flat, whippy path towards a one-handed finish. Recorded a T84 mph exit velocity via Trackman with pull-side success when timed up at the front of the plate.
Defensively: The first baseman featured some likeable traits around the bag with balanced, choppy footwork and an accurate base on the approach. Fielded cleanly off his right side, delivering a repeatable throw across the dirt, up to 72 mph (H ¾ slot).
Pitching: LHP. Southpaw begins tall off the middle of the rubber; consistent pace with a deep side-rocker, getting the arm up on time for strikes at 71-74 mph (2131). Got around the CB for lateral shape in the 63-65 mph range. Loose with more coming.
