Adam Kirk (2017 - Eureka, CA) pitched at 84-86 MPH with a short quick arm action.  His body projects well and he gets good down angle on his fastball at times.  He also threw a mid 70's slider that flashed solid action on it.  

Dylan Aronne (2017 - Dana Point, CA) hammered a solo home run down the left field line.  The ball got out in a hurry and he squared it up very well.  He also hit a hard triple to left center field.  Arone was also up to 82 MPH on the mound.

Brendan Hunter (2016 - Camino, CA) showed a live arm pitching with fastball velocity up to 86 MPH.  

Ruben Mercado (2016 - Pleasanton, CA) and Bradlee Beesley (2016 - San Leandro, CA) showed very good actions defensively at short stop and made some athletic running plays in the game.

Douglas Neubauer (2016 - Los Gatos, CA) had a good game all around having 2 hits at the plate and threw out a runner at home plate from right field.  He showed good footwork in the outfield.  

Mason Grotto (2017 - Clovis, CA) made a few good defensive plays in the game with strong throws from shortstop.  He also one hopped the left field fence for a double.

Cole Bamberger (2017 - Walnut Creek, CA) also hit a hard triple to left center field in the game.  

Jake Baer (2016 - West Hills, CA) showed a live arm on the mound with arm strength up to 86 MPH.

Ben Johnson (2016 - Federal Way, WA) pitched at 78-82 MPH with his fastball and located it well.  He threw a ton of strikes and showed solid spin on his 12/6 curveball.  Johnson also swung the bat well and had 2 hits in the game.  

Garrett McCarthy (2017 - San Carlos, CA) pitched at 78-81 MPH with his fastball with a short quick arm action.  He showed tight spin on his slider at 72 MPH.

Mitchell Rathbun (2016 2B, Las Vegas, NV) is a switch-who was especially good from the left side.  He has a short line drive approach from both sides but his left handed swing was strong with very good bat speed.

Ruben Mercado (2016 SS, Pleasanton, CA) has a slender middle infielder's build and a low effort swing but the ball really carried well off the barrel with lots of back spin.

Tom Tabak (2016 OF, Calabasas, CA) has a very projectable 6-2/185 build and plenty of present strength to drive a short and crisp left handed swing.
 
Jake Baer (2016 3B, West Hills, CA) is one of the stronger players at the event and has an aggressive right handed swing.  He pulled hard line drives throughout his round that really jumped off the barrel.

Bradlee Beesley (2016 SS, San Leandro, CA) is a quick twitch athlete in all areas, including at the plate.  He generates far more bat speed and power than you'd think a 165 pound middle infielder could.
 
Matt McGrady (2017 2B, Clovis, CA) is young but has a sound fundamental swing that he repeats well to hit consistent hard line drives, even showing some ability to pull and lift the ball.

Kelsey McNanie (2017 SS, Chico, CA) is another young middle infielder with a good swing, with the added benefit of being 6-1/178 and taking an aggressive cut at the ball that uses his strength well.

Montel Jones (2016 OF, Van Nuys, CA) has some mechanical adjustments to make, most notably getting some shift into contact, but he is strong and quick twitch and drove the ball very hard.
 
Saul Martinez (2016 3B, Inglewood, CA) had the best BP of the day, using his 6-0/200 strength to drive the ball hard to the pull side, including a couple of long home runs.

Anthony Gaskins (2017 OF, Berkeley, CA) has a very projectable 6-2/185 build and plenty of strength and bat speed.  Like Jones, he's going to keep improving with some mechanical adjustments that use his lower half better.

Dalton Seymour (2016 C, Livermore, CA)  had one of the simplest and sound set of swing mechanics we saw, with a short and very direct path to the ball.

Augie Sylk (2017 - Pacific Palisades, CA) pitched at 82-85 MPH with a clean loose arm action.  He threw a curveball at 72 MPH with 1/7 - 2/8 shape and occasional sharpness to it.  He was around the strike zone and showed a repeatable delivery.

Antonio Triest Escobar (2017 - Berkeley, CA) pitched at 81-83 MPH with a loose arm action.  He threw a 68 MPH curveball with sharp break and downer action on it.  He threw if for strikes and showed some feel for it.  

Ryan Brown (2018 - Bakersfield, CA) pitched at 77-81 MPH with his fastball.  He also threw a developing slurve with occasional sharp break to it.  

Francisco Pedraza (2016 - Alameda, CA) pitched at 78-82 MPH with his fastball and located it well.  He threw a 65 MPH curveball with good shape and occasional sharpness to it.  

Bradlee Beesley (2016 - San Leandro, CA) swung the bat well.  He showed good bat speed with a good swing.  Beesley made hard contact twice and laced a double off the left field wall.  He showed good hitting tools with upside.

Ruben Mercado (2016 - Pleasanton, CA) hit a hard double to the left field corner.  He showed some bat speed and quickness to his swing.

Troy Siegler (2017 - Redwood City, CA) hit a hard triple to the right center field gap.

Jake Baer (2016 - West Hills, CA) also hit a hard triple off the left center field wall and the ball jumped off his bat.  He has strength in his swing and bat speed.

Nathan Lopez (2017 - San Ramon, CA) hit a double off the left field wall.  He showed some bat speed.

8/1/2015 7:02:16 PM

Riley Ornido (2016 - Morgan Hill, CA) pitched at 84-87 MPH with his fastball with a quick arm action.  He hit his spots well and was around the strike zone all game long.  He flashed a curveball with good spin and gets some nice sink on his change up.  

Dylan Porter (2016 - Piedmont, CA) pitched at 80-83 MPH with his fastball with run action on it.  He throws a softer curveball at 64 MPH.  He moved the ball around in the zone well and worked down.  

Jordan Gartner (2017 - Brentwood, CA) had 2 hits and showed a short quick swing path to the baseball.  
Sterling Russell (2016 - Vallejo, CA) also had 2 hits in the game.  He has a good swing with some looseness to it and showed solid hitting tools.
