Fountain is an extra-large, 6-foot-5, 230-pound corner infielder who has big time raw power and showed it off in 2023 at the Area Code Games. He showed plus raw power in batting practice and also homered once to the pull-side in game—turning around an elevated 90-mph fastball that left his bat at 98 mph and traveled an estimated 376 feet. After seeing him hit the ball it’s not shocking to learn that he’s already the Nebraska high school career home run record holder and still has a full senior season to add to that total. Fountain doesn’t always get on plane and there’s enough swing-and-miss to wonder what sort of pure hitter he’ll be, but he generally makes solid swing decisions and walked as often as he struck out in 20 games logged by Synergy this year. He is a stiff mover who will need to improve his actions to stick at third base, though he does have above-average arm strength that would play nicely at the position. Fountain is committed to LSU.
