Adam Love (2020 OF, Roswell, GA) launched a home run deep over the pull side fence early in the game. Love showed tremendous strength in his wrists to pull his hands inside and enough leverage to utilize his lower half through the swing that resulted in a big fly. He also threw on the mound and showed a nice changeup.
Kyle Booker (2020 OF, Southaven, MS) showed a strong approach at the plate taking good at-bats and taking advantage of the pitches he was looking for. Booker collected an extra base hit early in the game and showed off some athleticism by hustling around the bases.
Jonathan Hemings (2019 1B, Duluth, GA) showed really good plate coverage and strength through contact with a pull-side double to the gap. The pitch was on the outer half of the plate and Hemings extended well to get the barrel head on it and drive the ball to the right centerfield gap for extra bases.
Emmett Descherer (2021 C, Charleston, SC) showed a fluid and easy swing with good pop as he adjusted well to a two-strike changeup. Descherer hit the ball well out in front with enough strength to drive the ball to the pull side gap and hustle around the bases for a triple.
William Stewart (2019 LHP, Nashville, TN) delivered a strong start on the mound with a really good feel for his curveball. The pitch had late tilt and break to it and he threw it from a similar arm speed as his fastball.
Jaden Woods (2020 LHP, Warner Robins, GA) knocked in multiple hits on the day. He has an easy lefthanded swing with good contact skills and the ability to drive the ball to the opposite field. Woods also threw and struck out five batters while allowing very minimal hard hit contact.
Daniel Powell (2019 SS, Grove Hill, AL) was all over the scoresheet and was an impact player for the Steel team. He had two hits on the day as well as knocking in a run and scoring one himself.
Michael Convery (2019 1B, Roswell, GA) had a very quick inning on the mound. He worked his fastball in the low-80s and racked up three strikeouts while showing a solid feel for his curveball.
