Kentucky commit Landon Franklin (2023, Cleveland, Tenn.) put together a solid weekend at the dish en route to a victory in the championship for eXposure Scout Team. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound middle infielder hit .417 with a double, a triple, and three RBI. The Tennessee native has a short, compact swing with very quick hands and advanced feel for the barrel.

The hand speed was shown off later in the game when he pulled them inside on a 90 mph fastball and hitting a single. He would later come around as the winning run.
