Jameson Damato (2025 MIF, Mound, MN) comes out sitting 77/8 early on, control of the heater to both sides and showing some solid feel to spin. Mixes in SL right at 70 with tight shape, drops in vert CB in the mid 60s to change eye levels with a change piece rounding off the mix. Generated weak contact, solid first inning here.
Nathaniel Thomas (2025 SS, Atlanta, GA) ripped a 2B down the PS line in his first at-bat of the game here. Great body to project on, had a solid batting practice and overall drills showing throughout the event. Good prospect follow long term, 6'3/185 shortstops who can swing it will always catch the eye. He picks up another 2B in the same spot B8, just continuing to get it done with the stick.
Caden Wells (2026 SS, Johnson City, TN) jumped all over a first pitch FB and roped it down the PS line for an RBI 2B. Strong kid, lot of time to fill in as a '26 with a good fundamental base to continue to grow off of long term. Like the projection here.
Carson Tomlin (2025 C, Auburn, GA) w/ a solid barrel right back up the middle in his first AB. Compact, contact driven swing works well, high motor behind the dish with good vocal leadership and traits.
Austin Zabala (2024 OF, Ellijay, GA) comes in relief sitting right at 82 (T83) with solid life out of the hand, in and around the strikezone challenging hitters and sequencing in the upper 60s curveball nicely. Athletic kid, has shown pretty well today in all facets. Picked up a nice opposite field knock too in the bottom of the 7th to drive in a run and wrap up the inning.
Mason Archie (2025 OF, Lawrenceville, GA)- Reliable stick with consistent track record of performing finds a nice opposite field barrel to plate a run. Athletic kid, very very young for the class with all kinds of physical upside.
Noah Jordi (2025 1B, Canton, GA) had the most impressive BP of the day across all events and showed it can work in game too, lacing a pull-side line drive single. Has really made strides since the summer, bat speed/strength has take a step up while maintaining the same selective approach. Solid showing from Jordi.
