Saturday's action brought D1's Eastern Michigan, NJIT & Nebraska Omaha as well as Georgia Highlands, St. Louis CC, Volunteer State CC, and Alice Loyd handling the JUCO slate.  

Notable standouts from today's action include:

Fr. RHP Davis Feldman, Eastern Michigan University

The 6-foot, 180 pound Freshman toed the rubber for the Eagles' first game of the day. Feldman worked from a three-quarter arm slot with good raw arm speed and a loose arm action. He showed good hip rotation and repeated his mechanics well through the duration of his start. He slightly cuts off his extension in his delivery, but manages to land on-line. He threw a pair of fastballs, his four-seam showed good life and hit 90 mph in the first inning, while then sitting in the upper 80's thereafter. His two-seam fastball worked in the 84-86 mph range with impressive arm-side run. He showed feel and confidence for his 80 mph changeup that showed good fade and depth. His fourth pitch was an 11-5 shaped curveball that hit 76 mph that he used sparingly, but showed some tightness and feel for the pitch.

Sr. 3B Clayton Taylor, University of Nebraska Omaha 

As noted in yesterday's edition of this blog, Taylor stands with a very strong 6-foot-4, 220 pound frame at the plate. He showed an impressive ability to pick up spin and lay off when it's thrown low and out of the zone. His bat speed and strength allows him to use his pull oriented approach to drive the ball through the right side with ease. His swing features a level plane with natural lift, as well as present feel for the barrel leads to a high number line drives. At the plate, he led the team with five hits in the Mavericks' pair of games on Saturday.

So. OF Cory Canterbury, St. Louis CC

The 5-foot-9 Canterbury didn't let height get in the way of making a large impact to start off the game for the Archers. With a quick swing and surprising strength for his size, he lifted a 344 foot solo home run over the left field fence on just the second pitch of the game. Canterbury showed good bat speed and plane in his swing with a line drive oriented approach.

RS Jr. C/OF Michael Mioduszewski, Eastern Michigan University

Mioduszewski notched two hits in Saturday's action for the Eagles, with both leaving his bat at greater than 101 mph. He showed very impressive bat speed out of his 6-foot-4, 240 pound frame with strong barrel timing ability. He incorporates his lower half well and generates good torque through the ball allowing for such hard contact with a balanced swing. 

So. RHP Bryan Quillens, Georgia Highlands

Saturday marked Quillens third start of the year for the Chargers and to date it was easily his most consistent outing. He still worked from his three-quarter arm slot with the same impressive arm speed and downhill action. His fastball topped out at 91 mph with good life and he improved significantly with his command, working arm-side well. His slider also appeared to be sharper, spinning up to 2500 RPM, per TrackMan. It maintained it's usual 10-4 shape, but Quillens threw it harder, up to 80 mph, and generated more swings and misses.

Fr. C/RHP Justin Wilson, Volunteer State CC

Yesterday I looked at Wilson as a pitcher where he touched 94 mph with his fastball, today we look at him behind and at the plate. One thing Wilson is assuredly not lacking of is arm strength. In warm-ups, he routinely popped in the low 2.00's from his knees, with his best coming at 1.89 in game action. He has raw receiving skills, but does show the ability to steal strikes on outside pitches. At the plate, he utilizes a level swing path and flashes bat speed, but lacks intent at the plate, often opting to attempt to bunt. He moves well down the line and has very athletic actions all over the field.

So. RHP Corey Binger, University of Nebraska Omaha

The 6-foot-3, 190 pound Binger certainly looks the part on the mound with broad shoulders and a very projectable frame. Binger showed a very clean, loose arm action on the mound that generated sharp downhill action. He doesn't currently rely on his lower-half much in his delivery, but could see an additional tick or two in his fastball by incorporating it. Binger showed a strong four pitch mix on the mound, primarily relying on his 86-88 mph fastball that topped out at 89 mph. His fastball showed heavy life with good arm-side run that allowed him to miss barrels. He featured a pair of breaking balls, a 11-5 shaped curveball offering that flashed depth, as well as a sharp, sweeping slider that touched 82 mph. He also mixed a changeup that touched 80 mph with slight sinking life.

RS So. OF Jesse Uttendorfer, New Jersey Institute of Technology

The generously listed 5-foot-9, 165 pound Uttendorfer acted as a catalyst for the Highalnders' offense. He used a slash-and-dash approach at the plate, with a quick inside out swing that was contact oriented. He showed raw bat speed at the plate with a line drive swing plane as he roped two doubles in NJIT's second game. Uttendorfer also showed impressive speed on the bases as well as in the field, being clocked at 4.20 down the first base line.
