6/14/2017 7:41:19 PM
Rece Hinds (2019 SS, Niceville, FL) showed off his tools and athleticism with a double down the line that saw him make it to first in 4.5 seconds. The Louisiana State commit has very good bat speed with high level tools across the board. 

Cooper Benson (2019 LHP, San Luis Obispo, CA) reached as high as 90 mph and worked in the upper-80s for the majority of the outing. The Arizona State commit showed three pitches with a changeup and a short slider. The delivery is very deceptive and he picked off two runners.

Bobby Witt Jr (2019 SS, Colleyville, TX) drilled a hard hit double to the opposite field over the head of the outfielder. He has an excellent overall tool set highlighted by his excellent raw power and bat speed.  

Jared Kelley (2020 RHP, Refugio, TX) has a very easy and polished delivery with three pitches for strikes. The arm action is easy. The Texas Christian commit pounded the strike zone and the fastball was 88-91 mph and topped out at 92 mph early on. The curveball showed 12/6 shape. 

Colton Bowman (2019 LHP, Tyler, TX) pounded the lower third of the strike zone with his 87-90 mph fastball. He threw from a lower three-quarter arm slot and the fastball got occasional run on the ball. The arm action is long through the back and he showed three pitches. 

William Rigney (2019 RHP, Woodway, TX) is immensely projectable with a clean arm and throws from a three-quarter arm slot. He reached as high as 89 mph worked in a breaking ball that flashed sharp break low in the zone. 

Rese Brown (2019 RHP, Apopka, FL) generated plane with his fastball that was working in the 87-89 mph range. He showed a short, tight slider and showed looseness throughout the arm.
