A two-time member of the USA Baseball 15U National Team, both in 2023 and the 2022 team that won a gold medal at the U-15 World Cup. Tronstein has some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the class. He has a deep hand load with a tendency to bar his arm in his swing, but he has excellent hand-eye coordination to produce a high contact rate that has translated against some of the top pitchers in the class. He keeps his head locked in, tracks pitches well and has the quick, strong hands and fast bat speed to generate sneaky pop for his size. He’s a smart, instinctive player who has experience at shortstop but primarily plays center field. Tronstein is a good athlete who’s already a plus runner and could still get faster, breaking well off the bat in center field with a quick first step and good routes.
