Luke Patzner, an Iowa commit, came out and ran his fastball up to 90 mph with his fastball and showed the ability to locate it to either side of the plate while mixing in a two-seamer in the mid-80s as well as both a slider and a changeup.

Ryan McCurry made a Top 10 type play in the top of the second inning for the White squad out in center field as he came racing in and made a diving play to rob a base hit and preserve a run. McCurry is currently uncommitted.

Lawrence Butler showed a nice, balanced swing from the left side in his first trip to the plate as he went with a running fastball on the outer half of the plate and lined the pitch over the shortstop for a nice piece. He is committed to West Virginia

Tyler Burchett toed the rubber for the White squad to open the game and ran his fastball up to 92 mph early in the game with some sinking life. He sports a long and projectable build and flashed a slider up to 81 mph early in the contest. He is committed to Kentucky.

A recent South Florida commit, righthander Justin Stewart punched out the side in his first inning of work as he sat in the 91-94 mph range with his heater. He continued to bumps 91 in the second inning while mixing in a 12-6 shaped curveball and pounded both sides of the plate with the fastball. 

Ethan Smith (2018 RHP, Mount Juliet, TN) showed an interesting hesitation move with a leg lift that occasionally double pumped and threw off the timing of opposing hitters. Smith had a fastball that worked 90-93 mph and he showed a four pitch mix highlighted by his 83 mph slider. 

Jared Poland (2018 2B, Indianapolis, IN) squared up two hits and showed strength and athleticism throughout the afternoon. He shortened up his swing and got the barrel onto the bat to drive the ball up the middle for a line drive single. 

Kelvin Smith Jr (2018 SS, College Park, GA) had two hits during the game earlier today and followed up a strong round of batting practice with some barrel feel in game. Smith has strength through the point of contact and showed quality bat speed throughout his swings. 

Seth Halvorsen (2018 SS, Plymouth, MN) worked from a short arm action and featured a fastball that sat from 90-94 mph throughout the outfing. Halvorsen was effective at pounding strikes in the lower third of the strike zone and also mixed in a breaking ball into his repertoire.
