INF Decker Kleppin (Random Lake, 2027) performed very well with the bat on Saturday. Kleppin has a compact swing and quick hands that showcased his hitability in a big way. Kleppin starts with an unorthodox set up, but gets himself into a very strong and athletic hitting position consistently on time and uses his quick hands to drive the ball to both gaps. Metrically, he registered a max exit velocity of 89.9 mph and averaged 86.8 mph, both of which are well-above average numbers for someone his age.
