Jan Figueroa (2017 RHP, Trujillo Alto, PR) is another promising prospect from Puerto Rico and the righthander didn’t disappoint. During his first inning of work he ran his fastball up to 92 mph with a full and loose arm action. In addition to the fastball the uncommitted Figueroa showed a breaking ball in the low-70s and a changeup at 81 mph.
Zach Sehgal (2017 SS, La Jolla, CA) helped keep the opposition off the board in the first inning by showing solid range moving to the 5-6 hole from shortstop, was able to set his feet and throw the runner out at home who aggressively rounded third.
Oscar Serratos (2017 SS, Lawrenceville, GA) jumped all over an 89 mph fastball and drove it back up the middle, carrying over the center fielder’s head for a loud double that came off the bat at 90 mph.
Committed to Florida Atlantic, righthander Christian Santana (2017 RHP, Hialeah, FL) came out and bumped 92 mph with his fastball while showing a feel for a curveball in the mid-70s, both of which come from a quick right arm.
Golston Gillespie (2017 C, Hull, GA), who’s committed to Mississippi, showed the type power he’s become known for as he was able to get his arms extended and drove an outer half pitch to the left-center field gap for a loud double, jumped 96 mph off the barrel.
After finding the barrel some in the previous game, Georgia commit Drew Waters (2017 OF, Woodstock, GA) followed up Gillespie with a hard single up the middle that jumped off the barrel at 103 mph. He then proceeded to show off his strength as he swiped both second and third within a handful of pitches. Waters fouled up his single in his first at-bat with another line drive base knock that registered 103 mph off the barrel, a line drive over the second baseman’s head.
Caleb Sloan (2017 RHP, Centennial, CO), who recently committed to TCU, made the trip out from Colorado and made an immediate impression as he painted the glove side black in his first innig of work. His fastball sat in the 90-92 mph range, bumping 94 mph while spinning a hard mid-80s slider with tight and late bite.
Heliot Ramos (2017 OF, Maunabo, PR) jumped all over a mid-80s fastball and sent it deep to the centerfield wall, clanking hard off the base for a two-base hit registering 100 mph off the barrel.
Oscar Serratos (2017 SS, Lawrenceville, GA), mentioned above, might be listed as a primary shortstop in the program but he very much has two-way abilities should he get to Georgia Tech. With a live, athletic frame Serratos featured a short and fast arm action that produced a fastball up to 91 mph with solid plane and ability to work to either side of the plate.
Brandon Dorsey (2017 3B, Mount Airy, MD), the thick athletic 3B showed solid barrel control with a line drive swing plane during batting practice and showed it during game 3, where he collected two hits including a double. Has some present strength in his swing as the ball would jump when centered.
