Marquis Grissom Jr (2020 RHP, Atlanta, GA) reached 90 mph with his fastball working it to both sides of the plate. The righthander committed to Georgia Tech featured a curveball and a changeup that each show outstanding potential on top of his projectable delivery.

Dylan Crews (2020 OF, Longwood, FL) opened up the game with a loud barrel at the plate driving a triple to the opposite field while sitting back on a breaking ball. The LSU commit swings with intent and drives the ball when squared. The ball explodes off of his bat as it did on Wednesday.

Coby Mayo (2020 3B, Coral Springs, FL), a UCF commit, jumped on the first pitch he saw at the plate ripping it through the 5-6 hole for a single. Mayo has a strong swing with plenty of strength as he gets his hips torqued and unloads into contact. He followed that up with a second single to the pull side with a similar aggressive approach at the plate.

Ty Collins (2020 RHP, Los Angeles, CA) uses a high three-quarters arm action and a steep downhill plane to the plate while sitting 88-92 mph. He mixed in a curveball that flashed average from a full arm action.

Jordan Walker (2020 3B, Stone Mountain, GA) jumped on a breaking ball over the heart of the plate for a double down the pull side line in his first at-bat. He followed that up in his final at-bat with a similar double down the left field line getting his hands inside and driving through the baseball. Walker stands at an outstandingly projectable 6-foot-5 and has a loose and fluid stroke at the plate with plenty of potential power. 

Jackson Fristoe (2020 RHP, Paducah, KY) lit up the radar gun quickly with a fastball that sat 92-94 mph and a four pitch mix with outstanding projectability. His slider is a sharp and downward, curveball has plenty of depth and changeup has fade from a high intensity delivery.

Chase Centala (2020 RHP, Tampa, FL) has a deceptive delivery on the mound sitting 88-91 mph on the bump. His crossfire release as well as his ability to tunnel all three of his pitches from a similar slot make Centala very tough to square up.

Wyatt Crowell (2020 LHP, Cumming, GA) filled up the strike zone with a fastball and a slider that comes from a very tough angle to hitters. His fastball sat at 88-90 mph with a slider that was very effective in missing barrels and getting swings and misses while showing two-plane shape.

Alex Freeland (2020 SS, Cape Coral, FL) is a switch hitter who did his damage in this game from the left side as he sent a double deep into the opposite field gap. Freeland gets to the baseball on time with an outstanding feel for the barrel and confident approach.

George Klassen (2020 RHP, Port Washington, WI) is a lean 6-foot-2 righthanded pitcher with plenty of physical projection remaining. Klassen has a clean and quick arm action while releasing with intent at 91-94 mph. He featured a power curveball with sharp downhill bite as well.

Carson Swilling (2020 RHP, Smith Station, AL) filled up the strike zone with his fastball and curveball combination. Swilling has a clean delivery with a fastball that sits 91-93 mph and an 11-5 curveball with late bite and depth.

Jack O'Dowd (2020 SS, Nashville, TN) has a downhill swing plane at the plate and connected on a pair of hits in the game each going to the middle of the field for singles. The Vanderbilt commit did a nice job of staying balanced at the plate and hitting the ball out in front. 

John (TJ) Curd (2020 1B, Port Saint Lucie, FL) made the play of the day in the field with an over the shoulder basket catch. The first baseman made a quick first step to the ball in foul territory before the catch. His swing at the plate has outstanding power that he showcased in batting practice as well.

Corey Collins (2020 C, Suwanee, GA) had another big-time day at Chase Field throwing out a runner with a 2.03 in-game pop time from behind the plate and a loud barrel at the plate. His swing has plenty of strength present and he has done an really nice job the past two days getting the bat head to the baseball.
