Travis Sykora (2023 SS, Round Rock, TX) has a frame and swing that projects for a lot of bombs in his future development. There’s a big toe tap that he uses for timing while the jump off of the barrel is only going to continue to come as he gave big flashes of it on Saturday.
Hutson Guinn (2023 3B, Paragould, AR) swings with intent and the bat speed, power combination is pretty special. Guinn has a lift to his path and connected on a huge bomb to dead center field in his round of batting practice.
