Cade Argo (2019 2B, Firth, NE) The 2019 middle infielder consistently barreled up contact throughout batting practice showing a simple, repeatable line drive swing plane.
Corey Hall (2018 OF, Champaign, IL) The Illinois native stayed very balanced throughout his swing and utilized a level, line drive approach consistently squaring up contact between the gaps.
Evan Jordan (2018 OF, Champaign, IL) The 2018 grad has a simple, direct path to contact with a naturally leverage plane through extension. Jordan swung with intent to lift the baseball with authority.
Houston King (2020 OF, Cabot, AR) The 2020 Arkansas native has a very smooth, repeatable stroke. King consistently barreled the baseball producing solid extension with natural leverage to all fields. With continued physical development, King will be a name to follow closely.
Xavier Torres (2017 SS, Marietta, GA) Showed a rotational lower half to contact with a simple front side trigger. When on time, Torres produced very loud, hard contact off the barrel with solid carry.
Quinn Cherry (2017 OF, Harrison, AR) The Crowder College commit has a lot of strength in his 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame. Generated hard line drive, after hard line drive with a swing plane that flashed good leverage through extension.
Mark Kattula (2020 3B, Sterling Heights, MI) The 6-foot, 195-pound 2020 grad stayed on his back side well at contact generating good lift off the barrel. The Michigan native already has present bat speed and strength at contact, but projects for more raw power potential with continue physical develop and maturity.
Chandler Kelley (2018 2B, Milton, WV) Kelley showed a high contact approach with the present bat speed to drive the baseball to all fields. With continued lower half refinement, Kelley projects as a rare second base prospect with solid raw power potential.
Pierce Blohowiak (2018 OF, Neenah, WI) The 2018 Wisconsin native generated good linear shift into the baseball with a compact, direct barrel path. Blohowiak also flashed the hand quickness to turn the barrel and work to pull side producing hard line drive contact to the gap.
Noah Gent (2019 SS, Corryton, TN)
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound shortstop flashed quick hands through the zone with good extension through finish. Consistently repeated his swing plane generated good jump off the barrel throughout batting practice.
Luke Gilliam (2019 3B, Wildwood, MO) Gilliam showed a spread, open stance prior to launching to contact with linear lower half actions. The 2019 grad primarily looked to attack the bottom half of the baseball and lift with intent.
Haden Parton (2018 OF, Springfield, MO) The Missouri native showed good bat speed and strength at contact while consistently repeating a level, line drive swing plane throughout batting practice.
Hayden Brotz (2019 1B, Lincolnshire, IL) The 6-foot-1, 210-pound first baseman flashed good lower half balance while his hands worked through the zone on a loose, naturally lifted plane that generated good jump off the barrel.
Jeffrey Holtz (2018 C, Hartland, WI) The Indiana commit had probably one of the best rounds of the day producing hard hit line drives to all fields. Holtz flashed very quick hands through the zone with a linear path that allows the barrel to stay in the zone for an extended period of time.
Colin Bergmann (2019 3B, Weldon Spring, MO) The 2019 grad aggressively shifted into contact with his lower half producing very good bat speed through the hitting zone. Bergman swung with extreme intent, and when on time produced hard contact that exploded off the barrel.
Elijah Dale (2019 SS, St. Louis, MO) The St. Louis native has the rare ability to hit consistently with bat speed from each side of the plate as a 2019 grad. Dale consistently repeated a direct, compact path to contact that produced a line drive plane through extension.
Brett Gonzalez (2018 OF, Rolla, MO) The 6-foot, 212-pound outfielder put on one of the better raw power displays we saw all day. Gonzalez repeatedly punished the baseball to the back of the cage of a naturally lifted swing plane that seemed to produce plenty of carry to easily split the outfield gaps. Its also worth noting that hitting is not Gonzalez's only tool, the Missouri native also ran a 6.67 sixty yard dash and was gunned up to 90mph from the outfield.
