Drew Bryan (2020 C, Sanford, NC) showed excellent catch-and-throw skills throughout the event and again on Sunday. Bryan has an aggressive mentality behind the plate and that led to multiple successful back picks as well as throwing runners out on generic throw downs.
Chandler Williford (2019 RHP, Newton Grove, NC) showed an exciting four-pitch arsenal highlighted by his cut fastball. The pitch had good biting life to it and the fastball in general was up to 85 mph. He has a full arm path with good arm speed and a changeup that flashed good potential.
Wes Bowlin (2019 1B, Indian Trail, NC) had a strong day at the plate with consistent hard contact. Bowlin collected two singles with a hard hit grounder and hard hit line drive to show off his barrel skills.
Joseph Quelch (2019 C, Clinton, MD) got the scoring started with a loud double in the first inning. Quelch took advantage of a pitch up in the zone and showed off some raw bat speed to elevate the pitch deep to the pull side gap.
Jacob Zimmerman (2019 RHP, Southern Pines, NC) showed very good pitching tools during his time on the mound. Zimmerman has a loose and long arm action with a fastball that he was locate to the arm side very well and a three-pitch mix that featured an 11/5 curveball with quality depth.
Hunter Zents (2020 OF, Wake Forest, NC) showed good tools with a loose swing that resulted in a hard hit single. He made a number of impressive plays in the infield highlighted by his advanced footwork and feel for the position.
Jackson Severt (2021 C, Church Road, VA) turned in a strong performance with two hits of his own. He showed an even planed swing path and a pull side approach that resulted in two singles.
