Batting Practice Highlights

2/25/2023

Domenico Tozzi (2024 C, Camp Hill, PA) showed some of the best bat speed and barrel whip on the day, staying simple with his movement before getting the barrel out front and showing some serious impact strength at the point of contact throughout his round. He’s currently uncommitted.

 

Broder Katke (2027 C, Bloomfield Hills, MI) continued to show well with the bat as we have seen in past viewings, showcasing a long and loose path through the zone which yielded plenty of hard contact around the cage His best barrels came on a line to the pull side though there’s plenty of intriguing power potential he’ll continue to tap into moving forward.

 

Andrew Raymond (2024 C, Middletown, MD) is a physical left-handed stick who put his strength on display. His hands were explosive coming through the zone with lots of quickness and big intent on each pass, generating some loud contact off the barrel with leverage at the point of contact.

 

Wenkai Campbell (2024 OF, Morgantown, WV) is an uncommitted switch-hitter out of West Virginia who showed a balanced and measured stroke from both sides of the plate. He uncoils well out of his load from the right side and stays relatively short to the ball with fast hands and occasional lift while showing nice balance in his lefty swing with some jump and authority coming off.

 

Ryan Petras (2025 SS, Bethel Park, PA) put together a nice day at the yard following his 6.47 60-yard time and showed things to like in the box as well. He’s short to the ball from his launch position and shows plenty of bat speed following his hand load, creating lift to his pull side and nice jump when squared up.

 

Ben Ryan (2024 3B, Indiana, PA) took home the top exit velocity in testing with a 103 mph recording and that strength is obvious in all facets of his game. The combination of bat speed and strength are evident in his swing and when he’s on time and squaring up the ball, there were few who could replicate his results on the day.

 

Anthony Grippo (2026 C, Mount Pleasant, PA) showed intriguing tools on both sides of the ball as the Pennsylvania backstop did a little bit of everything on the day. His movements in the box are simple enough as he controls his 6-foot-2 frame well, creating separation in his swing with flashes of lift and steady contact to the middle and pull sides.

 

Luke Williams (2026 SS, Murrysville, PA) ran a 6.85 and showed huge arm strength from the outfield and infield before showing well in BP as well. He did a nice job of consistently getting extended out front while showing quickness to his hands and more lift to his swing path while back spinning some line drive contact to his pull side.

 

Gavin Kelly's (2024 C, Presto, PA) tools showed well throughout the event in all areas of his game, from running to defense as well as in the box. The West Virginia commit works through a relaxed set up before letting his fast hands take over, remaining balanced throughout while generating hard contact to the middle of the field with solid contact skills.

 

Michael Twigg (2023 OF, Munhall, PA) works with a handsy stroke through the zone, utilizing a longer path to the point of contact while showing quickness in his hands throughout. He found the barrel well and lived towards the middle of the field with line drive contact rather consistently.

 

Michael Hanz (2025 RHP, Freeport, PA) shows a long and fluid stroke from the left side and there’s still plenty more power for the 6-foot-2 Pennsylvania native to grow into. He does a nice job of creating separation while repeating his swing, letting his hands do the work with flashes of lift at the point of contact.

 

Sal Mineo (2024 OF, Prospect, PA) showed big tools throughout the event with a 6.57 60-yard and a 95 mph outfield throw before jumping on the mound and touching 88 from the left side. Offensively he shows strength off of the barrel, swinging with intent while staying short to it with his hands.

3-Maroon vs 4-Royal Game Highlights

2/25/2023

Michael Twigg (2023 OF, Munhall, PA) started his day at the dish off with a rocket line drive the opposite way, showcasing the ability to see the ball deep and trust the hands with plenty of backspin production in the stroke.

Aaron Concepcion (2027 SS, Pittsburgh, PA) muscled a line drive single back up the middle in his first AB of the day, showcasing bat speed and barrel control through the zone. The 5-foot-8 135 pound prospect has time to fill out the frame and add on to the already present contact tool.

Ryan Petras (2025 SS, Bethel Park, PA) flashed the pull side pop with a loud barrel into the left-center field gap, displaying strength in the hands that remained inside the baseball and created significant carry. The 5-foot-9 165 pound primary IF has an advanced speed tool which posted a 6.47 sixty time earlier in the day.

Dustin Rape (2025 LHP, Sarver, PA) showed off the two-way potential by running his FB up to 88 mph on the bump while also smoking a single back up the middle on the offensive end. The physical lefty attacked hitters at the dish with a tight SL that generated swing and miss to pair with heavy heat in the arsenal. Penn State commit.

Gavin Kelly (2024 C, Presto, PA) showcased the ability to go with an outside pitch and drive a ball to the opposite field during his second plate appearance as the ‘24 WVU commit displayed solid bat-to-ball skills and was a defensive staple behind the dish throughout his day.

Michael Hanz (2025 RHP, Freeport, PA) is certainly a projectable arm to keep an eye on, as the 6-foot-2, 160 pound RHP topped out at 85 mph from a simple low effort operation and ¾ slot. Hanz has feel for spin in the arsenal and can generate swing and miss in the form of a CB around 2500 rpm.

Tyler Sankovich (2023 MIF, Uniontown, PA) did a nice job of recognizing off speed early and sitting back to rope a single back up the middle during the middle stages of the game. Sankovich is an all around athlete with natural actions on both sides of the field.

Sal Mineo (2024 OF, Prospect, PA) was effective in multiple aspects of the game, topping out at 88 mph on the bump from the left side while showing off the blistering speed by posting a 6.57 sixty time.
