Griffith Fenn (2019 OF, Durham, CA) did a nice job of generating bat speed through the zone and showed a consistent feel for the barrel during his round while staying short to the ball. It’s a simple swing and he did a nice job of repeating his linear swing with line drive contact to all fields.
Tyler Weiner (2019 OF, Murrieta, CA) is a long and projectable 6-foot-3 outfielder who put his short and quick swing on display with hard line drive contact to the middle and pull side parts of the field. His swing is easy with few moving parts and he was able to generate consistent carry off the barrel when squared.
Andrew Duran (2019 1B, Covina, CA) is a big and strong 6-foot-2, 200-pound righthanded hitting first baseman who shows interesting components to his swing which are worth following. He has some moving parts to his load but he also has a very quick bat through the zone and shows carry off the barrel when squared up .
Joseph Heidtke (2020 RHP, Carmel Valley, CA) showed a nice, balanced swing from the righthanded batter’s box and possesses easy hands in his path. Is overall swing is direct through the zone and he does a nice job of repeating while creating consistent line drive contact with occasional leverage out front.
A lefthanded hitter, Kaleb Hatch (2020 C, Escondido, CA) showed a short stroke at the plate during his round of batting practice with present looseness to his hands. He generates extension out front and shows interesting parts to his swing with nice contact off the barrel when squared.
Vincent Temesvary (2020 OF, Los Angeles, CA) continued to impress in the opening day of the showcase with his righthanded swing in his batting practice session. Strongly built, Temesvary was able to generate noted bat speed through the zone while staying short to the ball with loud jump off the barrel.
Matt Odom (2020 2B, Glendale, CA) is a young switch-hitter who showed a balance swing from both sides of the plate, handling the barrel while showing quickness to his hands. He projects well physically and showed his best contact from the right side with a short stroke and looseness through his swing.
He may be listed as a primary righthanded pitcher but William Coquillard (2019 RHP, Pacific Palisades, CA) showed one of the more balanced swings of the day despite his long 6-foot-8, 215-pound frame. With his length, Coquillard was also able to generate leverage to his swing and connected for the lone home run, to the opposite field nonetheless, with loose hands and a short swing.
Maximilian Ramirez IV (2019 RHP, Watsonville, CA) impressed later in the day with his right arm on the mound, but also showed nice potential with the bat. With quickness to his hands and steady line drive contact, Ramirez did a nice job of repeating his swing with consistent contact off the barrel, especially to his pull side.
John Schwoerer (2019 OF, South Salem, NY) is listed at 5-foot-10, 175-pounds and showed nice quickness to his hands from the right side of the plate.

James Kobylt (2019 SS, Los Angeles, CA) is strongly built at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds and he did a nice job of incorporating his physical strength into his righthanded swing. Staying short and direct to the ball Kobylt showed some of the better bat speed on the afternoon with hard jump and carry to his pull side.
Jared Littlefield (2019 OF, La Jolla, CA) utilizes a higher leg lift trigger for timing and he did a nice job of getting it down with his weight shift, showing a short and consistent stroke from the right side. He shows nice bat speed through the zone and leverage out front with quick hands, creating carry when squared up.
Alonzo Tredwell (2021 RHP, Coto De Caza, CA) is one of the younger players in attendance and though he’s a primary righthanded pitcher, he also showed well with the bat. A lefthanded hitter, Tredwell shows quick hands and present bat speed, hitting the ball out front with jump off the barrel and still projects for more moving forward.
Ryon Padayao (2019 3B, Santa Ana, CA) took one of the easier rounds of batting practice that we saw on opening day, staying short to the ball with a strong and loose righthanded swing. He was on time with his leg lift trigger and connected for steady hard contact to the middle and pull side parts of the field.
