Brodie Morrow (2022, Hartselle, Ala.) is a physical presence in the box with broad shoulders and present strength throughout his build. The strength shows up at the plate as he is able to bully baseballs for hits. Morrow is coming off what was a very impressive high school season where he hit in the middle of a solid Hartselle lineup and will look to do more of the same this season in the middle of the VBA 17U Black lineup.

Austin King (2022, Trussville, Ala.) was big for his TPL club on the mound as well as at the plate. The rising senior made three appearances on the mound, with the biggest coming in the championship game where he went four innings without allowing a run on just four hits with one walk. King was very efficient with his pitch count all weekend, attacking the zone early and often while creating weak contact. At the dish he displayed a level bat path with good intent. In his last at-bat of the tournament he was able to recognize the breaking ball up and drive it back up the middle on a line with good connection and punch at the point of contact.
