Aaron Keel (2020 SS, Cedar Point, NC): Keel showed off pretty whippy bat speed in his round with a good amount of strength that will only improve, as he showed the ability to drive the ball deep pull side with excellent carry.
Gavin Mortenson (2020 SS, Summerfield, NC): Mortenson showed an advanced approach, working to all fields on a line with a simple, repeatable swing that projects to hit for high average as he continues developing.
Zach Stanko (2019 3B, Toano, VA): Stanko took one of the louder rounds of the evening, showing off excellent bat speed, strength, and leverage, consistently driving the ball deep pullside with plenty of carry.
Shemar Dalton (2020 OF, Walnut Cove, NC): Dalton had a very consistent, solid round that showed off good bat speed, leverage, and lots of hand strength, first spraying line drives then opening up and showing off good pull side raw pop.
Eli Willen (2021 3B, Greensboro, NC): Willen really gets his lower half involved and when combined with his smooth, easy bat speed, shows off very good hitting tools to go along with some pull side juice.
Preston Cavenaugh (2019 OF, Charlotte, NC): Cavenaugh showed consistent barrel skills with repeatable swing mechanics, getting the head out on time with authority and attacking the baseball, finding the barrel frequently.
Caleb Cross (2020 RHP, Sanford, NC): Cross consistently drove the baseball on a rising line to the middle of the field and to pull, showing an excellent combination of hand strength and bat speed in the process.
Sean Seale (2020 OF, Waxhaw, NC): Seale showed off potentially the best raw power of the event, with easy home run carry to the pull side that he generates with outstanding bat speed and strength.
Payton Green (2021 2B, Cary, NC): Green showed off impressive bat speed with natural loft to the stroke, driving the ball into the air and projecting extremely well for big time power as he continues to gain strength.
Corey Leadenham (2019 SS, Virginia Beach, VA): Leadenham has good physical strength at present and lets it work well in his swing, leveraging the ball off of his front side and driving the ball on a rising line with good barrel skills as well.
Blake Doggett (2019 1B, Richmond, VA): Doggett has some of the more impressive physical strength of any prospect in the country and he puts that strength on display in BP, showing the ability to drill baseballs violently into the air with excellent carry when on time.
Kameron Evans (2019 RHP, Kernersville, NC): Evans showed the ability to consistently get his barrel on plane on time and with excellent bat speed, peppering liners all over the field and showing the potential for very good power as he continues to get his lower half more involved in his swing.
Conner "CJ" Mayhue (2019 LHP, Shelby, NC): Mayhue showed very good overall hitting tools with a compact, quick stroke that generates leverage as well as good carry off the barrel, consistently squaring the ball up and using the whole field.
