Connor Pavolony
River Ridge High’s backstop Connor Pavolony simply doesn’t look like a senior in High School, physically or the way he plays. The Tennessee Volunteer commit had an outstanding evening at Lakepoint. A strong base and a pure stroke at the plate allows Connor to use all parts of the field. His first at bat of the evening Connor drove a first pitch outside fastball for a line drive oppo single. After a brief power outage around the area, Pavolony provided some power on his own hitting a no doubter opposite field homerun that quickly left the park. Connor loves to talk the game behind the dish often an underestimated quality of a catcher. Whether he was buttering up the umpire for extra inch or two off or keeping his defense aware of their surroundings, Pavolony was talking the game the whole night.
Ethan Anderson
2019 Utility player Ethan Anderson has the skill set to do a lot of things at multiple positions for River Ridge and at the next level. The Georgia Southern commit is 6’3 185 and has a tall stance and a simple stroke at the plate. Ethan’s minimal movement level bat path gives his barrel a lot of opportunity to find the baseball, which is exactly what he did Saturday night. Anderson hit a rocket through the left side of the infield. With more power coming and his versatility makes Ethan a very intriguing prospect.
