Drake Staton (2025 2B, Bixby, OK) still has plenty of growing to do from his present 5-5/120 but he had as nice a swing as was seen all day.  It's short and quick and direct and will definitely maximize barrels against all types of pitching.

Kaden Alstad (2025 RHP, Decorah, IA) is a primary pitcher but he may have a higher ceiling as a hitter and shortstop.  He has a very advanced swing for an eighth grader with present bat speed and plenty of strength in his 6-1/185 build.

Cooper Auschwitz (2025 3B, Owasso, OK) gets his hips well coiled and then uncoiled on time and he has lots of loose whip in his swing.  He's another hitter he squared up almost every ball during his round.

Nicholas Darling (2025 1B, Johnston, IA) is one of the strongest 2025's this scout has ever seen, with a big football 6-1/250 build.  But his right handed swing is short and simple to maximize contact and when the ball is squared, it really jumps hard, especially to the pull side.

Manuel Dunn (2025 SS, Kansas City, KS) is a live bodied middle infielder with a solid ability to hit from both sides of the plate.  We thought his right handed swing was a touch better in bat speed and sequencing but he showed his quick hands well from the left side as well.
