Mason Pelio (2018 RHP, San Diego, CA) has a strong three pitch mix and a very physical, durable frame on the mound. The fastball worked well from 89-91 mph and he threw both a short, tight cueveball with 12/6 shape and mixed in a hard changeup. 

Gustaf Radel (2018 RHP, Sioux Falls, SD) worked with an explosive fastball and used a strong combination of fastball-curveball. He coils inward with a funky delivery and a very long arm action. The fastball worked 88-91 and the curveball was located well to the arm side. 

Nick Nastrini (2018 RHP, San Diego, CA) worked two quick innings for the Green team and showed a three-pitch mix, Nastrini got downhill and to both sides of the plate. The fastball sat 88-91 mph and he showed an occasionally tight curveball with a changeup as well. 

Lineras Torres Jr (2018 RHP, Beacon, NY) has a very easy effort level on his delivery that saw him work 92-94 mph. Torres Jr. showed a strong four pitch mix that included a short cutter at 88 and a tight spinning breaking ball with short action. 

Preston Hartsell (2018 OF, Newport Coast, CA) carried his strong BP into the game with solid bat-to-ball and contact skills. Hartsell finished the day with two singles. 

Alek Thomas (2018 OF, Chicago, IL) made a diving grab in left field to start the game out that highlighted his athleticism. Thomas also found consistent barrel as he drove a couple of long fly balls despite none of them landing for hits. 

Andrew Benefield (2018 SS, Murfreesboro, TN) had sound defensive actions as he made a number of plays during the game. He remained balanced while on the run and showcased the arm strength today. He also took an 89 mph fastball and knocked it hard up the middle.
