South Top Prospect Batting Practice Highlights
8/5/2017 4:34:41 PM
Jared McClain (2018 3B, McKinney, TX) had a very strong and physical frame which helped translate to hard hit line drives. He showed good present bat speed along with the ability to impact the ball with strength through the point of contact; leveraged swing throughout with balls that traveled well and had backspin.

Kolsen Powers (2019 C, Abilene, TX) had a very clean and repeatable swing path that allowed him to make consistent contact. Powers showed good feel for the barrel of the bat with the majority of the hits being line drives up the middle and to the pull side of the field. 

Justin Ruble (2018 RHP, Tomball, TX) stood with a wide base and a high hand set with a high back elbow. Ruble had a smooth and short stroke with a direct hand path to the ball and the swing path itself was naturally lofted. 

Caleb Flores (2018 3B, Amarillo, TX) showed a very physical presence in the batter's box with a very fluid stroke from the left side. He generated good extension when he was on time and out in front of the plate with loud contact and barrel skills to the pull side of the field. 

Bennett Laurence (2018 OF, Rockwall, TX) worked line drives to all fields and showed a good swing highlighted by the quickness in his hands. Laurence showed some jump off the barrel when he was on time to go along with balls that were impacted hard to the pull side. 

Trey Harris (2018 OF, Little Rock, AR) utilized a short and compact swing that complemented the contact, line-drive oriented approach nicely. Harris has quick hands with requisite bat speed and had a direct path to the baseball. He was able to smoke line drives to all fields. 

Pete D'Alessandro (2018 3B, Driftwood, TX) has a strong, physical frame to go along with a fluid swing that showed good bat speed throughout the path. D'Alessandro repeats his swing well and stays on plane consistently with good power potential to both gaps and all fields.

Lennox Rivera (2018 1B, Irving, TX) is another hitter who showed na intriguing power ceiling. The righthanded hitter showed some lift and bat speed in the swing and allowed him to generate power to the pull side and left centerfield gap. Rivera showed some torque through his hips and his batted balls carried well.
