| Summary: A record-setting 60 time at the Super 60 event announces the carrying tool immediately — the speed is genuine and it plays in every phase of the game. The athleticism and arm strength give Weingartner the tools to stick in center field long term, and the overall athletic profile is the kind that draws attention before the bat even enters the conversation. A two-way background on the mound adds context to the arm strength, but the future is clearly as a position player where the full athletic package has the most impact. At the plate, a tight, connected right-handed swing with strength through contact generates real pop in the air, and an all-fields approach gives the offensive profile more dimension than a pure speed-and-defense evaluation. Some stiffness in the swing is a mechanical note worth monitoring as the hit tool continues to develop, and the ball jumping off the bat confirms the raw power is present even if it hasn’t fully surfaced in games. The brother drafted in the prior class adds a family baseball background that gives the makeup profile additional credibility. The five-tool upside is legitimate and the speed alone gives the profile a high floor in center field. The hit tool and power development will determine how far the ceiling reaches, but the athletic foundation is already there to build from. | |||||||||||
