Blake Dickerson (2018 1B, Temecula, CA) puts his long and fluid swing on display while creating extension out front and did a nice job of repeating his swing. He projects well moving forward and already shows carry off the barrel with a sound contact approach. 

Joshua Bozoian (2017 OF, Chino Hills, CA) put his power on display throughout his round of batting practice as he stayed nice and balanced through his swing with quick hands. He showed big jump off the barrel and cleared the right center field fence for a long opposite field home run. 

Demetrios Petrides (2018 3B, Flower Mound, TX) has a short and quick bat path to the ball with solid feel for the barrel and nice jump to all fields. He repeated his swing very well throughout his solid round with nice carry to the opposite field. 

Erik Tolman (2018 LHP, Lake Forest, CA) showed fluid hands in his left-handed swing with nice extension out front. He stays balanced through his swing while shifting his weight well with nice line drive life off the barrel. At 6-foot-1, 155-pounds, Tolman projects well physically and should continued to develop power in his swing. 

Hunter Jump (2017 OF, Aliso Viejo, CA) created consistent hard and barreled contact to pull side with solid carry coming off the barrel. Jump stays short to the ball with solid bat speed and generates a loud sound at contact and also showed strength to the opposite field. 

Murphy Stehly (2017 SS, Carlsbad, CA) remained short to the ball through his swing with simple and repeatable mechanics. He showed an interesting swing that projects well with strength though he already showed carry and feel for the barrel from the right side.

The ball came off well from the right side too with a feel for the barrel and steady contact to the middle and opposite parts of the field. 

Santino Rivera (2017 SS, Chula Vista, CA) did a nice job of repeating his swing and in doing so was able to quickly get the barrel through the zone on a regular basis. He projects well physically and already shows natural lift with carry to all fields. 

Jesse Garcia (2018 1B, El Cajon, CA) has a strong 6-foot-1 frame and knew how to incorporate that strength while staying balanced and under control. Getting the barrel through the zone quickly, Garcia showed consistent carry to his pull side gap and even cleared the fence with a long blast that left the barrel in a hurry.

Mark Stanford (2017 3B, Long Beach, CA) also has a strong 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame it showed in his right handed swing as he showed nice jump coming off the barrel. With a short and quick swing Stanford was able to generate consistent line drive contact to the middle and pull side parts of the field with a loud sound off the barrel.

Jacob Higgins (2018 1B, Riverside, CA) begins his swing with a high hand set and showed a solid feel for the barrel with fluidity in his right-handed stroke. The life off the barrel was more than interesting as he created line drive contact to all fields with solid carry and nice bat speed. 

Already committed to Nebraska, Jimmy McClenaghan (2017 OF, Modesto, CA) showed a short stroke and nice balance in his right-handed swing. He generates nice extension in his swing and handled the head of the barrel well while creating consistent contact to the middle of the field and projects nicely moving forward.

He remains balanced through his swing while showing present bat speed and solid life coming off the barrel to his pull side.
