Marcus Cantu, Lutheran South Academy (TX), 2026 Texas
Positional Profile: SS/OF LHH/Inf…Will add strength to body in future. Solid hit set up with opportunities for swing adjustments. Solid defender with actions and instincts present. Solid player showing tools.
Body: 5-9, 170-pounds. Solid build showing some thickness to middle/lower. Good frame to add strength.
Hit: LHH. Lands in solid position after stride. Rotational back foot, does a good job of using lower 1/2 in swing. Hands/barrel launch from solid position. Uphill path to hit zone with fly ball contact. Lacks consistent barrel control on pitches middle/away, barrel dump resulting in weak flares to LF. Must improve ability to handle barrel for success in future. 73.7 mph bat speed with 21 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 90.6 mph. 389' max distance. Solid approach to hit, bat/hand speed present. Opportunities for adjustment with swing to increase contact consistency. Like the upside to hit ability with changes.
Arm: RH. INF-87 mph. Arm works fine, shows ability to throw from all angles. Fringe avg accuracy lead shoulder opens tad early causing arm to drag at times. Avg future.
Defense: Feel work well getting body into fielding position. Hands are fine, at times fields baseball tad deep, can improve getting more out front. Feet play thru baseball. Shows body control with agility. Avg foot quickness now, will continue to improve. Like the upside to defense.

Positional Profile: SS/OF Cantu is an extremely talented player who could have 5 elite tools as he continues to develop and fill out. Has a natural feel for the game on the field, and will be fun to watch the next 4 years.
Body: 5-9, 165-pounds.
Hits: LHH. 50/50 set up, leg kick load. Hands drop with load to allow him to lift up throw the ball at contact, gets on plane early.
