2025 Signature Event: Main Event
Lynch impressed staff by arriving early — very early — in advance of the National Combine with a focus on wanting to work out, get better and get familiar with his surroundings. That, however, is not a guarantee to get to the next step. What he did when the lights turned on was; Lynch hit a long homer early in the event, and earned his way to the Main Event, where you’ll likely also see the two-way on the mound.
