8/17/2016 8:33:00 AM

Bobby Witt Jr (2019 SS, Colleyville, TX) has extremely advanced hitting tools for his age and although it took him a few swings to get timed up during BP, he showed his fluid and strong right handed swing.

Jarred Kelenic (2018 OF, Waukesha, WI) has some of the best raw bat speed one will see in any prospect of any age.  The left handed hitter attacks the ball with a notable controlled violence and impacts it very hard.

Alex Binelas (2018 3B, Oak Creek, WI) is another left handed hitter from the state of Wisconsin who stood out with his bat speed and power potential.

Tim Borden (2018 SS, Sellersburg, IN) has a very projectable 6-1/170 build that is going to keep getting stronger and a nice right handed swing with a high average swing approach.

Brett Hammit (2018 SS, Nixa, MO) has some effort in his swing approach, with a big shift into contact, but there is no mistaking his raw bat speed and ability to drive the ball a long way when he squares it up.

Clayton Nettleton (2018 RHP, Davenport, IA) looked very good on the mound but is also a potential two-way prospect with nice strength and looseness in his left handed swing.

Jordan Groshans (2018 SS, Magnolia, TX) stood out in all phases of the game at this event but it started with an excellent batting practice session.

Trae Harmon (2018 RHP, Somerset, KY) is a primary pitcher but the immensely strong (6-4/225) right handed hitter was one of the more impressive hitters we saw over the two days, both in games and in batting practice.  It would not surprise us if he ended up a primary hitter and soon.

Ryan Dyal (2019 C, Senoia, GA) is a quick twitch young left handed hitting catcher who had lots of developing bat speed and plenty more to come as he physically matures.

Will Banfield (2018 C, Lawrenceville, GA) has a chance to become one of the faces of the 2018 class with his tools on both sides of the ball.  He made the U. San Diego field look small (which it actually is) during batting practice.

Eric Grintz (2019 C, Glenmoore, PA) had a very solid round of batting practice, with a strong but low effort right handed swing and lots of pull line drive contact.

Anthony Seigler (2018 C, Cartersville, GA) is an extremely rare type of athlete who is both a switch-hitter and switch-pitcher.  That shouldn't distract from the fact that not only can he hit from both sides, he can hit very well from both sides.

Kendall Simmons (2018 SS, Macon, GA) is one of the highest ceiling talents in the 2018 class and that certainly includes his raw bat speed, which is extreme.

Brady Allen (2018 OF, Lakeland, FL)  stands out during games for his intense hustling style of play but he also has lots of raw tools, including bat speed.  He's a rare right handed hitter/left handed thrower.

JP Murphy (2018 OF, Reisterstown, MD) was one of the more projectable hitters at the event, with a loose and long 6-3/185 build and a short and direct right handed swing that barreled the ball up consistently.

Vinny Tosti (2018 OF, Santa Rosa, CA) is an aggressive quick twitch athlete who really drives the ball hard to the middle of the field.  There are lots of doubles and triples to the gaps in his future.

Hunter Watson (2018 3B, Pottsboro, TX) has a very interesting combination of length (6-3/205), strength and looseness that produces one of the best swings in the 2018 class and certainly one of the most visually appealing.

Jose Gonzalez (2018 1B, Spring, TX) is a bit smaller version (6-0/195) of 2017 PG All-American Alejandro Toral in his overall swing mechanics and swing approach.  He's a hitter.

8/17/2016 7:59:36 AM

Matt McLain (2018 SS, Tustin, CA) has very quick hands at the plate and a simple approach that allows him to be on time most pitches.  He drove the ball hard to the gaps.

Preston Hartsell (2018 OF, Newport Coast, CA) is pretty much the exact opposite of McLain in approach; he takes a full and aggressive hack at the ball and when he squares up, he impacts the ball very hard and has big pull power.  He hit four home runs during his round.

Joe Magrisi (2018 RHP, San Diego, CA) is a primary pitcher but he has present strength and a short, efficient swing that squared the ball up every pitch with pull line drive contact.

Preston Miller (2018 3B, San Clemente, CA) has a nice shift into contact and a fluid swing that drove the ball hard into the left centerfield gap.  It was the same swing he showed when he hit a home run in the game on Sunday.

James Bell (2018 C, Fresno, CA) is a very strong young man at 6-1/205 and the ball explodes off his barrel hard and often.

Kameron Ojeda (2018 C, La Mirada, CA) is a rare left handed hitting catcher and his best present tools might even be on the offensive side of the game.  His swing is very short but also very powerful.

Garrett Frechette (2019 1B, Vista, CA) has one of those smooth left handed swings that makes people wonder if left handers just can do things easier.  It would not surprise this scout at all if he were to eventually get Freddie Freeman comparisons.

Raynel Delgado (2018 SS, Miami Lakes, FL) is a bigger middle infielder at 6-1/185, with long arms, and has the strength that goes with his size.  He also is a switch-hitter with a loose and fast swing from both sides of the plate.

Cam McMillan (2018 SS, Kansas City, MO) stands out on the field at 6-4/190 and has big power potential at the plate as a right handed hitter.

Aaron McKeithan (2018 C, Arden, NC) has big strength in his hips and core and it shows with the kind of right handed bat speed he can create.  He hits the ball very hard when he's timed up.

Chandler Freeman (2019 3B, Liberty Hill, TX) is 6-1/165 and has plenty of time and room to grow but he showed surprising strength in his right handed swing, with lots of hard line drive pull contact.

Austin Knight (2018 SS, Jacksonville, FL) is a smooth actioned athlete on both sides of the ball and it showed with a loose and fluid swing that highlighted his fast hands.

Paul Komistek (2018 3B, Knoxville, TN) has a nice projectable 6-2/180 frame and a short and simple swing that showed plenty of pull power.

Devin Warner (2018 SS, Euharlee, GA) is some kind of strong young man and gets that strength into his swing from both sides of the plate.  The ball really carries when he squares it up.

Zeb Stough (2018 3B, Lewisberry, PA) is another extra strong hitter who can get the ball to jump off his barrel from the right side.

Jake Renteria (2018 OF, Clovis, CA) is a long armed 6-4/187 athlete but he does a great job of keeping his swing short and direct for his body type and handles the barrel very well.

Bryce Reagan (2018 3B, Amherst, NH) is a switch-hitter with legit tools and bat speed from both sides of the plate.  Top prospects from New Hampshire are rare but Reagan is one of them.

8/16/2016 10:35:37 AM

In the final game of the evening USA pitches a combined one hit shut out for a 1-0 victory over California!

Andrew Moore (2018 RHP, Flovilla, GA) started the game and pitched 2 no hit innings, topping out at 89 mph.

Justin Jarvis (2018 RHP, Mooresville, NC) closed out the game giving up 1 hit and striking out 7 in 3 innings of work with an 86 mph fastball.

Austin Knight (2018 SS, Jacksonville, FL) doubled and drove in the game winning run in the 2nd inning.

8/15/2016 10:55:57 PM

In the second game tonight Team California kept an early lead to beat the National team 4-1.  

Matt McLain (2018 SS, Tustin, CA) led off the game with a double, stole 3rd base, and scored teh first run of the game. The UCLA commit showed off all the skills in the at-bat with a great approach, aggressive swing, and high energy on the base path.

Kameron Ojeda (2018 C, La Mirada, CA) continued the pattern in the 1st with a double of his own. A Fullerton commit, Ojeda showed + power, was short to the ball, and centered the ball very well. 

James Bell (2018 C, Fresno, CA) had an RBI triple in the 2nd inning for Team California. 

Cooper Benson (2019 LHP, San Luis Obispo, CA) started the game for Team California throwing 3 innings of 1 hit baseball with 5 strikeouts. The Arizona State commit sat 88-89 with a 74 mph changeup and 67 mph curveball.
