Overview
- The Combine, running June 23–26 at Chase Field, has all 30 MLB clubs on site for on-field workouts, Hawkeye and KinaTrax testing, strength and vision drills, and medical evaluations.
- Teams are collecting specific biomechanical metrics such as exit velocity, pitch shape, release point, extension, sprint speed, and force-plate jump data to compare prospects on a common scale.
- Several players with recent injuries or limited innings—Logan Reddemann, Tyler Spangler, Carson Wiggins, Cade Townsend and Justin Lebron among them—are using bullpen sessions and batting practice to prove health and readiness.
- Clubs are running intensive interviews to assess makeup and to sell individualized player-development plans because college NIL offers are creating alternate paths that affect signability.
- This week is the last major live showcase before the July 11–13 draft so performances and medicals can materially shift draft boards and bonus negotiations, as past Combine standouts have shown.
