Baylor Sundahl (2015 RHP, Maryville, TN) threw 3 innings of scoreless baseball for the 3-Dark Green team. Sundahl had a very quick arm, good balance, and excellent command of both a 88 MPH FB and a 70 MPH CB. Baylor ended his outing with 6 strikeouts.
Tekwaan Whyte (2015 SS, Stone Mountain, GA) showed ability both at the plate on the mound. Whyte was 1-2 at the plate and had some serious speed on the base paths. On the mound Tekwaan sat 87-88 MPH with his FB, 76 MPH with his CB and 81 MPH with his SL. His powerful slider with bite combined with his hard CB kept hitters off balance and did not allow an hit.
Matthew Hansen (2015 RHP, Montgomery, TX) pitched for the 4-Gold team and had the ability to throw 3 pitches for strikes. Hanson had good mechanics and good balance on the mound. His FB topped at 85 MPH and supplemented that pitch with both a SL at 73 MPH and CH at 78 MPH.
Dexter "DJ" Neal (2015 OF, Lithonia, GA) started his showcase games off well by crushing a 2B in his first AB. Neal is a very athletic OF that was excellent on the bases and had the ability to drive the ball deep. The ball exploded off of his bat during his BP session and that continued during the game.
