| Summary: The 2028 INF has drawn a lot of attention at St. Bernard for his impressive two-way play and highlight-reel impact on the field. Now with his eyes set on the collegiate level and beyond, Minor looks to continue his campaign and become one of the very top prospects in his class. With a compact frame like his, the arm strength and power he shows at the plate are standout tools. Minor’s lean 170 lb. frame is explosive and has great potential to grow as he develops and adds on mass. Already, he has one of the most violent swings in his class from the right side, creating hard backspin contact with carry. Even with his premium bat speed and powerful rotational swing, he never looks overexerted at the plate, and the swing is repeatable. His wide stance utilizes his core and lower half to find the barrel and produce hard contact to all fields. Minor looks to do damage and never gets cheated on a swing, but will take his base hits on pitches low in the zone or away from his wheelhouse. Has been a switch hitter at the high school level to this point, but I believe he will focus on the righty swing as he progresses. With his quick-twitch strength and speed, it will be interesting to see which defensive position he sticks at. I’ve seen him listed as a SS but saw him take a lot of reps in LF and at 3B at the 2026 Area Code games. The arm strength is there to stick on the left side of the infield; he has been clocked at 92 mph INF velo and has topped around 90mph when he pitches. There’s room for improvement on the infield defense as far as glovework and footwork are concerned, but he’s definitely a capable infielder. At 17 years and a few days old, there’s plenty of time for him to clean that up. It isn’t often you see an athlete like Minor at his age. The room for physical growth is almost exponential and it will be exciting to see what he looks like in a few years. With two more high school seasons left, there’s no telling where he could end up in the summer of 2028. | |||||||||||
