Kumar Rocker (2018 RHP, Watkinsville, GA) was electric to start the game working 95-98 mph. He showed four pitches which included a curveball, slider, and changeup. Rocker mixed his pitches well and the fastball showed occasional riding life to it. 

Chance Denson (2018 RHP, Collinsville, MS) was also impressive on the mound working 88-94 mph for his outing. Denson has a long arm action and was 91-94 mph during the first inning. 

Will Banfield (2018 C, Lawrenceville, GA) launched a high fastball to the opposite field gap for a double. Banfield showed solid barrel control and used some of his raw power that he showed off during BP. 

Ryder Green (2018 OF, Knoxville, TN) launched a triple deep off the wall in left centerfield. Green is an impressive athlete and displayed his excellent raw power during the game today. 

Bo Blessie (2018 RHP, Midland, TX) is a very projectable and high ceiling pitcher. Blessie has a very long and loose arm through the back and generates decent extension down the mound. He worked 90-94 mph early on with a breaking ball that had a high spin rate of around 2600 rpm. 

Jonathan Gates (2018 LHP, Brooksville, FL) is a long and lanky lefty with three pitches for strikes. He worked well against batters of the same handedness with a high gather. The fastball worked 90-92 mph and he showed a short slider and changeup with fade.

Matthew Wyatt Beddow (2018 RHP, Camp Hill, PA) has a compact and balanced delivery with a strong fastball that worked 90-92 mph. He mixed in a 12/6 curveball that showed big depth and did a good job at inducing ground ball contact. 

Makenzie Stills (2018 RHP, Fayetteville, GA) showed very good arm speed on the mound and worked 90-92 mph with his fastball. The pitch showed occasional run to the arm side and the slider flashed high upside at 83 with occasional two-plane movement.
