Wesley Scott (2019 RHP, Riverside, CA) filled up the strike zone with a fastball and slider offering up to 93 mph and 83 mph respectively. Scott works from an up-tempo delivery with plenty of arm quickness and effort.

Joseph Charles (2019 RHP, Celebration, FL) ran his fastball up to 94 mph while consistently living in the low-90s. Charles’s arm works online through the back with extension out in front. Charles also mixed in a sharp slider up to 81 mph.

Brock Jones (2019 OF, Clovis, CA) put together the at-bat of the day fouling off multiple pitches showing terrific plate coverage and a good eye. Jones later doubled in the at-bat to the pull side gap showing leverage and bat speed to his stroke.

Jacob Meador (2019 RHP, Burleson, TX) is a 5-foot-11 170-pound frame righthanded pitcher whose fastball reached 93 mph. The ball jumps out of the TCU commit’s hand. Meador mixed in a pair of offspeed pitches with the curveball flashing power 12-6 bite.

Blake Adams (2019 RHP, Springdale, AR) displayed a balanced and online delivery as well as nice mixture of pitches. Adams throws from a long arm action and high three-quarters slot up to 93 mph.

Blake Mayfield (2019 RHP, Flower Mound, TX) lived mostly down in the zone with a fastball and curveball combination. His fastball peaked at 92 mph while his sharp curveball topped at 76 mph. The baseball comes from a longer arm stroke and a relatively easy drop and drive delivery.

Quinn Priester (2019 RHP, Cary, IL) came out firing fastballs from a low effort delivery. Priester creates plenty of angle from his projectable 6-foot-3 190-pound frame. The TCU commit topped out at 93 mph flashing life to armside.

Garrett Frechette (2019 1B, Vista, CA) showed good plate coverage and the ability to put the barrel to the baseball in the game. Frechette squared up the baseball on the nose to both center field and left field during the game.

William Rigney (2019 RHP, Woodway, TX) showcased one of the more projectable pitching outings of the day with a 91-94 mph fastball and a hard-biting slider up to 84 mph. The Baylor commit throws with minimal effort and pounds the zone with both pitches.

Cooper Benson (2019 LHP, San Luis Obispo, CA) struck out a pair of hitters in his first inning with an 86-89 mph, straight changeup, and upper-60s curveball. Benson has a nice feel for all three pitches and is able to manipulate the strike zone from his full arm action.

Caeden Trenkle (2019 OF, Hillsboro, TX) went down to get a pitch down in the zone to rip it into right field. The Oklahoma State commit features a raw hit tool with a good feel for putting the barrel on the baseball.

Bryce Osmond (2019 SS, Tulsa, OK) put his two-way skills on display as he put his strong hands to the baseball nicely on a double to his pull side in the game. Osmond also closed out the game for Gold working 91-94 with his fastball. Osmond pitches from a full and quick arm action and gets outstanding drive from his lower half. He flashed a curveball with sharp dive downward. The Oklahoma State commit worked a perfect frame striking out the side.

Joseph King (2019 C, Redwood City, CA) pounded the zone with plane on his fastball. King only threw one inning but was lights out striking out a pair of hitters. King has feel to spin and flashed a changeup that both were swing and miss pitches.
