Luis Aviles (2017 C, Palmetto Bay, FL)-Followed up a very loud batting practice with an explosive in game performance. Roped a double after a long at-bat to the deepest part of the left-centerfield wall. Followed that up by jumping on a first pitch fastball high off the top of the wall that was a handful of feet from going out. 

Shane Baz (2017 RHP, Cypress, TX)-Powerful RHP with quick, downhill action. Explosive fastball from a three quarter slot with a long, loose arm action. Fastball worked 90-92 mph with rising life. Showed some feel for a changeup as well at 87 mph along with a slurvey breaking ball that changed shape and showed some sharpness. 

Kyle Blendinger (2017 RHP, High Point, NC)-Higher effort right hander with a very quick arm and and a longer arm action. Fastball showed good arm side life at 88-90 mph as well as a sharp, hard breaking slider at 80 mph.

Joe Lancellotti (2017 RHP, Bensalem, PA)-Long, projectable RHP with a power sinking fastball at 88-90/92 mph. Showed a short breaking curveball as well that helped keep hitters off balance. 

Brady McConnell (2017 SS, Merritt Island, FL)-Another loud batting practice performer who impressed in game. Roped the first pitch up the middle showing impressive bat speed and plane. Legged the hit into a double. 

Judson Ward (2017 OF, Russellville, AL)-Very strong player with a short, compact swing. Takes the ball where pitched with good bat speed and a swing that works well through the zone. 

Tommy Mace (2017 RHP, Tampa, FL)-Tall, 6-7 player with tons of projection remaining. Gets downhill well from a three quarter slot with really impressive feel for three pitches. Fastball worked 87-89 mph with wiggle and an impressive changeup at 81 that showed good fade. The third pitch was a 12-6 curveball he mixed in for strikes.

Cody Greenhill (2017 RHP, Russellville, AL)-Lower three quarter arm action with a smooth drive towards the plate and a short, compact arm action. Good wiggle to his fastball that worked 88-90/91 mph that worked in well to right handed hitters. Also mixed a in a curveball with better depth shown lower in the zone.  

AJ Labas (2017 RHP, Middleburg, FL)-Long, lean build with a looser arm action. Showed an explosive fastball between 89-91 mph with good arm side life. Also mixed in a tight slider at 73 mph that showed decent bend.
