Wilberto Rivera (2017 RHP, Naranjito, PR) came out and pumped big velocity out of the gate, running his fastball up to 94 mph while sitting comfortably in the low-90s. He’s got a strong and broad build to go along with a quick, loose arm action that helped produce sinking life on his fastball down in the zone.
Kevin Abel (2017 RHP, San Diego, CA) made the cross country trip to throw in Fort Myers and he didn’t disappoint as he showed three solid pitches for strikes. His fastball was up to 91 mph early with downhill plane and he threw both a changeup with late diving life and a sharp 12-6 curveball for strikes, both in the low-to-mid-70s.
Tim Elko (2017 3B, Lutz, FL) continues to swing a big bat from the right side of the plate after making loud contact earlier in the day. Getting a fastball he could handle, Elko got his arms extended and drove the pitched deep to center field for a standup double, traveling 395 feet and coming off the barrel at 97 mph.
Seth Corry (2017 LHP, Highland, UT) is projectable lefthander who’s already committed to Brigham Young, though he already shows plenty at present. With a fastball that works in the low-90s and up to 93 mph Corry was able to maintain his velocity well throughout his two innings of work and developed his curveball throughout the outing saving his best ones for last.
Christian Robinson (2017 OF, Melbourne, FL) might only be 16 and a half years old as he recently reclassified up from the 2018 but his strength and bat speed fits right into to the older class. Despite begin in a left on left match up Robinson showed the quickness to the barrel in order to drive a triple to deep center field, jumping off the barrel at 96 mph. He also jumped on the mound for an inning and ran his fastball up to 85 mph.
Altoon Coleman (2017 RHP, Sanford, FL) has been a regular at Perfect Game events and he again ran his fastball up to 91 mph with a short and compact arm action, showing a feel for his breaking ball up to 78 mph, showing the ability to add and subtract on the pitch.
Logan Allen (2017 LHP, Deltona, FL) has long been known for his ability to carve up hitters within the strike zone and did so once again this afternoon. He ran his fastball up to 90 mph with a quick and loose arm action, but also threw both a sharp curveball, a slider, and a cutting changeup for strikes, mixing with comfort and feel.
Another Alabama State commit, Oraj Anu (2017 OF, Orlando, FL) had a nice two hit day at the plate with both of his hits coming from from the right side of the plate. In his first trip he doubled down the left field line before shooting a single through the 4-hole in his second trip to the plate for a single.
Ben Dragani (2017 LHP, Brookfield, WI) is a Michigan commit from the state of Wisconsin and he ran his fastball up to 88 mph, showing a smooth and easy arm action that projects for more velocity moving forward as he fills out physically.
Mason Doolittle (2017 C, Jupiter, FL) made the most of his last at-bat during the showcase, turning on a lefthanded fastball and he put it off the base of the Green Monster for a double, coming off the barrel 96 mph.
