2-Royal vs. 1-Red Game Highlights

8/7/2022

Blake Bunda (2028 IF, Pocahontas, IA) did a nice job of staying on balance today and timed up a fastball before sending it deep to left field for a triple.  He has a quick swing through the zone that allows him to generate nice pop off the bat.

Brody Phillips (2027 MIF, Arcola, IL) was impressive on the mound for his two innings of work today, showing nice control over his fastball/curveball mix and earning four strikeouts.  His fastball sat 68-72 mph and his curveball came in at 55 mph with very nice downer action.

Braden Swaney (2027 OF, Omaha, NE) had a loud performance during the game today.  He was all over an inside fastball and drilled it over the right fielder's head for an easy triple.  He also showed off great arm strength, nailing a runner that had gotten too from first on a fly ball to center.

Gavin De Jesus (2026 SS, West Des Moines, IA) showed off his nice speed today, beating out two infield singles to the third baseman.  He is a twitchy athlete that has great range on defense and can make all of the plays.

JJ (Jeremiah) Phillips (2027 C, Pleasantville, IA) capped off a nice event with a loud barrel that ended up in center field for a line drive base hit.  He has a compact stroke and line drive approach.  He does a nice job of hitting the ball where it's pitched and doesn't try to do too much.

Dawson Weller (2027 1B, Ottumwa, IA) also found a loud barrel during the game today, sending a hard liner down the first base line.  He sat back on the ball well and let it get deep into the hitting zone before sending it the other way.

Alex Griffin (2027 3B, Union, MO) displayed a quiet approach at the plate, belting many balls past the outfielders during his round. Confident, controlled swings with good intent. Very mature approach. 

Bridger Schmidt (2027 1B, Marion, IA) made big contact today during his round of BP. Early in his round he showed off some good pull side pop as well. XL frame with high intent behind his swings. 

Dylan Kassab (2026 C, Hinsdale, IL) showed off some good opposite field contact during his round today. Looked to drive the ball from gap-to-gap. Just about drove one out of the park as well. Mature approach.
