Background

An elite shortstop prospect out of Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort, Illinois, Bell originally committed to Pittsburgh before re-opening his recruitment during the summer of 2023. He committed to Kentucky shortly after, giving recently hired recruiting coordinator Austin Cousino his first signature win on the trail. Bell wound up being ranked as the No. 13 player nationally by Prep Baseball Report and entered the 2024 MLB Draft as one of the top high schoolers to watch.
