Carter Kieboom (2016 3B, Marietta, GA) had the highest BP grades of the day, consistently hitting hard line drives with carry from a loose, hand driven swing that resembles what top Dodgers prospect Corey Seager looked like from the left side when he was at the PG National. Kieboom continued to swing the bat well in the afternoon game with 2 hits.
Jordan McFarland (2016 OF, Waterloo, IL) is one of the strongest players in Fort Myers this week and drove some balls deep. He's not always consistent in his timing and swing but when it comes together the ball flies.
Cole Stobbe (2016 SS, Omaha, NE) keeps things simple and direct in his right handed swing. He makes solid contact to all fields and consistently drives the ball hard.
Khalil Lee (2016 OF, Centreville, VA) had a solid Wednesday in virtually every area, including BP. He has an easy left handed swing that early concentrated on hard line drive contact, then opened up the last few swings for some real power.
Luis A. Curbelo (2016 SS, Carolina, PR) has a nice 6-3/185 build that is very projectable. He moves in very well to contact and has good balance and lots of bat speed, tools he used to lift two balls out of jetBlue Park.
Zachary Watson (2016 SS, Ruston, LA) doesn't look like he'd have lots of bat speed and power at 6-0/165 but he has great sync between his upper and lower halves and strong hands. He has easy loft in his swing and the ball jumps hard.
Camyrn Williams (2016 SS, Lutz, FL) is a switch hitter with tools from both sides of the plate. He's especially good from the right side with a well loaded swing the aggressive bat speed.
Aaron Schunk (2016 SS, Decatur, GA) hits with a double tap load with a short and quick right handed swing. He gets the ball in the air consistently and has easy power in his 6-2/178 frame. Schunk showed that easy power in games as well with a double over the centerfielder's head.
Colton Welker (2016 SS, Coral Springs, FL) has a big boned 6-2/195 build that may eventually push him over to third base but he also has lots of strength in his right handed swing. He drives the ball to all fields and looks to have a feel for the barrel.
Eric Rivera (2016 OF, West Park, FL) has a very simple right handed approach from an open tall stance. He peppered the left field wall with consistent hard line drive contact.
Rylan Thomas (2016 3B, Winter Garden, FL) reminds this scout of Joe Davis, a top 2015 hitting prospect. Both are 6-0/225 with lots of strength and nice right handed swings that square up the ball consistently and drive it hard with loft.
Alvaro Valdez (2016 OF, Miami, FL) has a short high average approach from the left side with very quick hands that enable him to hit the ball deep in the zone and hit it hard consistently.
Nolan Jones (2016 SS, Langhorne, PA) is a long and graceful athlete at 6-5/195 but keeps his swing admirably short and quick for his size. He's extremely projectable in all ways.
Andrew Daschbach (2016 3B, Atherton, CA) has a big 6-3/210 build and a strong right handed swing that creates hard gap to gap contact. He explodes his hands at the ball with power and authority and makes loud contact.
