Cade Brown (2018 1B, Cardiff, CA) has a very short swing for a 6-5/220 athlete but with the strength to drive the ball to all fields.  He opened up his swing the last couple to show his raw power as well.

Elijah Cabell (2018 OF, Winter Park, FL) has a low effort well timed swing with outstanding raw bat speed.  He doesn't have to sell out his swing to drive the ball with authority to the mid field and pull side.

Preston Hartsell (2018 OF, Newport Coast, CA) was timed up from the first pitch and really showed his bat speed and a consistent left handed swing with plenty of lift.  He opened eyes with one long blast into the back of the right centerfield bullpen.

Gunnar Hoglund (2018 RHP, Hudson, FL) is a primary pitcher but he was another left handed hitter who was timed up from the first pitch and showed bat speed and solid line drive pull contact. 

Alek Thomas (2018 OF, Chicago, IL) is a tightly wound and explosive 5-10/175 athlete with a coiled left handed swing and lots of raw bat speed.  He's not an undersized singles hitter by any means; he'll have plus power at the next level.

Austin Wells (2018 C, Henderson, NV) has a smooth and easy left handed swing with lots of loose extension out front and plenty of present bat speed.

Nick Decker (2018 OF, Southampton, NJ) has a definite pull and lift approach at the plate but definitely the bat speed and pop in his barrel to pull it off.  He attacks the ball with plenty of intent.

Brandon Dieter (2018 SS, Covina, CA) has a very short and quick right handed swing that produces surprising pull power.  He really crushed the ball when he was hitting the ball out front and aggressively.

Ryan Holgate (2018 OF, Davis, CA)  has lots of upper body rotation in his swing but he uses it effectively to generate lots of left handed bat speed and occasional lift.

Osiris Johnson (2018 SS, Alameda, CA) has a young body that hasn't begun to get strong yet and a young swing at times but he flashes big bat speed and carry when everything comes together on a swing.  He's definitely one to watch closely as he gets stronger.

Aaron Sabato (2018 SS, Rye Brook, NY) has a big and mature build and a huge lift and pull approach but he can hit a ball as far as a 17 year old is likely to hit it when he gets into one, as happened on about three straight pitches late in his round.
