2014 National Underclass Main Event

Sunday BP Highlights -- Part 1
12/28/2014 5:44:20 PM
Ashton McGee (2017 SS, Goldsboro, NC) has an open left handed stance with a straight pull approach.  He generates very good present bat speed and has plenty of power potential, especially for a sophomore middle infielder.

Brooks Aristy (2016 C, Loxahatchee , FL) showed a pretty diversified set of tools Sunday, running a 6.83 sixty and popping a 1.89 behind the plate in drills.  He also showed a very simple and direct swing with loose hands and some present bat speed that will keep improving with additional strength.

Raymond Gil (2017 3B, Miami, FL) has lots of mature strength for a sophomore and that translates into big bat speed.  He has a solid approach at the plate with lots of pull power and aggressiveness.

Javier Valdes (2016 SS, Miami, FL) uses his lower half very well to generate power and bat speed.  The U. Miami commit has lots of lift and uppercut in his swing that can be toned down a bit but there is no mistaking the potential offensively.

Yasel Fabra (2016 OF, Doral, FL) has a projectable 6-foot-1, 170-pound build and a loose and strong swing with quick hands and lots of extension.  He showed his power and bat speed well.

Josh Hollifield (2016 3B, Weddington, NC) has a short swing for a 6-foot-3, 195-pound athlete and worked the middle of the field well from an inside swing path.  He has present strength and the ball comes off his barrel hard.

Jeffrey Fripp II (2016 1B, Orange Park, FL) is a big young man at 6-foot-2, 240-pounds but his swing is surprisingly loose for his build and he's extremely strong.  It was impressive how hard and consistently he squared the ball up.

Jack Layrisson (2016 3B, Ponte Vedra, FL) hits from a very spread left handed stance but does a good job using his lower half in his swing.  He hit some rockets to right centerfield, the biggest part of Jet Blue Stadium and took a very solid and consistent round.

Daniel Seres (2016 C, Canton, GA) took one of the three or four most impressive BP rounds of the day, showing big right handed bat speed with explosive hands at the ball.  He has quick twitch hands that will serve him well for both power and average, especially when he stays back on the ball.

Kendall Simmons (2018 SS, Macon, GA) is only a freshman but he has lots of potential as a right handed hitter.  He has lots of strength and bat speed all ready and is only a more comfortable trigger away from establishing more consistent timing.
