Draft Prospects

• Ranked #31 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Great Oak HS, Temecula, Calif. Drafted/Committed: Texas
  Age At Draft: 18.4
  
  BA Grade: 55/Extreme
  
  Fien is one of the most well-rounded hitters in the high school class. His performance on the 2024 summer showcase circuit stacks up with anyone, and he was one of the most reliable hitters with USA Baseball’s 18U National Team. Listed at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Fien is a righthanded hitter and a shortstop now who is likely to move to third base or an outfield corner in the future. His swing is unconventional, but it works for him. He has a narrow setup and a high handset with a slight hitch in his swing and a bat path that always looks a bit stiffer than scouts would prefer. It’s hard to doubt his results, however, and Fien has an advanced feel to backspin the ball to all fields with authority and tap into his plus raw power with consistency against high-quality pitching. He’s got plenty of strength and bat speed that pairs with contact skills and pitch recognition that should give him above-average pure hitting potential to go with above-average game power. Fien isn’t much of a runner, and as he fills out his frame his fringy speed could back up even further. He doesn’t have the nimble footwork required for middle infield and should be a better fit at third base, where his plus arm would fit nicely. Fien played first base with Team USA and could also profile in right field if necessary. He’s committed to Texas but has first-round upside even as a right-right corner profile, thanks to his hit/power combination.

  Fien is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound infielder and outfielder who in 2024 established himself as one of the most impressive offensive players in the prep class. He produced at a high level seemingly everywhere he played, and was one of Team USA’s most accomplished hitters on the 18U National team when he went 10-for-25 (.400) with three doubles and two triples in eight games. Fien’s setup and swing is a bit unorthodox. He has a narrow setup and high handset with a slight hitch in his load and leg kick to start his lower half before firing through the zone with a barrel that often looks a bit stiff. He makes it work, though, and has hit quality pitching to a degree that provides confidence in his hitting ability and usable power. Fien played first base for Team USA but is still learning the position and could profile as a third baseman or corner outfielder.
