Henry Smith (2022 SS/RHP, Athens, GA) singled twice today for the Gold team. Smith has a line drive swing plane with bat speed and made solid contact all 3 times up today. On the mound Smith topped out at 79mph on his fastball mixing in his curveball at 64mph and his changeup at 70mph. Smith works quick on the mound attacking hitters with his fastball and does a good job mixing in his off-speed pitches for strikes.
Jack Spyke (2021 C, Lawrenceville, GA) singled both times up today as well. Spyke has a sound approach at the plate with a smooth swing and hits the ball where it's pitched.
Michael Izzi (2020 C, Johns Creek, GA) doubled in his 2nd at bat this afternoon. Izzi has pop in his bat with bat speed and drives the ball to the gap.
Cooper Hardee (2020 2B, Buford, GA) singled twice this afternoon for the Col. Blue team today. Hardee does a good job of hitting the ball where it's pitched and has a level swing plane.
Kevin Espiritusanto (2019 C, Palm Bay, FL) doubled and singled in the game today. Espiritusanto showed good bat speed at the plate with a line drive swing plane and consistently squared the ball up today.
