Richie Van Tassel (2020 MIF, Cary, NC) doubled in the game for the Red team this afternoon. Van Tassel has a line drive swing plane with a sound approach and displayed good base running instincts.
Gavyn Byrd (2020 OF, Oak Ridge, NC) made solid contact at the plate both times up today singling in his first at bat. Byrd displayed good plate coverage and uses all fields.
Shyire Thompson (2019 MIF, Kinston, NC) also singled in the game for the White team. Thompson has a good swing with bat speed and is a gap to gap hitter with pop.
Cyle Phelan (2021 LHP, Fuquay Varina, NC) sat 77-84mph with his fastball and had his curveball at 65mph. Phelan has a compact smooth delivery with smooth repeatable mechanics. Phelan does a good job of using both sides of the plate showing good command of both his pitches and has good depth to his curveball.
