Alberto Gonzalez (2018 RHP, Laredo, TX), an uncommitted righthander out of Texas, ran his fastball up to 92 mph in his opening frame and worked rather comfortably in the low-90s. He featured a quick right arm and flashed both a slider and curveball for strikes.
Justin Olson (2018 OF, Colorado Springs, CO) got the barrel to the ball in his first at-bat and lined a hard single back up the middle on a fastball that registered 91 mph on the radar gun
Marcelo Perez (2018 RHP, Laredo, TX) displayed a very quick right arm which helped produce a fastball that bumped upwards of 93 mph and lived in the low-90s. Committed to Texas Christian, Perez also spun a breaking ball in the upper-70s though he worked primarily off his heater.
After performing well in the workout portion, shortstop and Florida International commit Kevin Vargas (2018 SS, Las Mareas de Salinas, PR) turned on a 91 mph fastball in his first at-bat and barreled a hard piece down the left field line.
Tyler Casagrande (2018 OF, Leesburg, VA) connected or a nice piece pack up the box, squaring up a low-90s fastball for a loud piece into left-center field.
Vanderbilt commit John Malcom (2018 1B, West Bloomfield, MI) also found the barrel in his first at-bat as he spun on an inner half fastball for a loud single down the line after showing his strength last night in batting practice.
Ian Bedell (2018 RHP, Davenport, IA) really impressed with his two innings on the mound as he worked rather comfortably in the 90-94 mph range with his fastball. With a quick arm Bedell was able to pound the ball down to the bottom of the zone mixed in a pair of breaking balls for strikes.
After impressing defensively with his footwork in the infield, South Alabama commit Lency Delgado (2018 SS, Miami, FL) connected for a hard barreled piece on a changeup, showing the ability to stay back and rip the pitch through the 6-hole.
Chase Costello (2018 RHP, Pompano Beach, FL), an uncommitted righthander, opened eyes at jetBlue Park with his two innings on the mound. He sat comfortable in the 90-93 mph range during those two innings and more than once ran the fastball back over the outer half for strikes while also mixing in a tight slider up to 81 mph.
Henry Davis (2018 C, Bedford, NY) has long been known for his big time arm strength behind the dish and today picked up a couple of bat knocks, working the middle and opposite parts of the field for a couple of base hits.
A primary shortstop, Texas Christian commit Mateo Gil (2018 SS, Keller, TX) jumped on the mound and ran his fastball up to 92 mph with life and command to either side with his fastball while mixing in two secondaries.
