Adam Behrens (2023 RHP, Lake Villa, IL) put together an eye-opening performance today in his start for the Gray Team, running his fastball up to 90 mph and sitting in the high 80’s with ease. He flashed an impressive curveball and changeup arsenal, with the breaking ball showing 12-6 shape with sharp downer action. He stands at a physical 6-foot-3, 190-pounds and there is plenty of projection remaining. Huge uncommitted name to know throughout the Midwest moving forward.
Colin Miller (2023 RHP, Gilberts, IL) is another uncommitted arm who had an impressive PG Showcase debut, as he sat 86-89 mph with ease and flashed a wipeout curveball with late bite and big-time swing and miss potential. He stands at an extremely loose and projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. His upside is sky-high, and we don’t expect him to uncommitted for long after today’s performance.
Erick Colon (2023 RHP, Schaumburg, IL) really showed off the strength in his swing and put his power potential on full display, as he crushed one into the opposite field gap for extra bases. The primary pitcher proved that he can do damage with a fastball left over the plate.
David Cox (2024 SS, Oak Brook, IL) had a successful day at the plate, picking up two well-struck hits. For his first, he dropped the bat head and showed impressive bat speed, catching up and getting his hands through on a low and inside fastball and smoking it past the third baseman. He then followed it up with a single up the middle later in the game. The sophomore has a large and physical frame that projects well, and there is exciting power potential present.
Dasaan Lee (2024 3B, Monee, IL) was seeing the ball extremely well in this one, as he produced loud contact on multiple occasions. The primary third baseman has a large and physical 6-foot, 194-pound frame, and there is definite strength present. For his first hit, he got a belt-high fastball and didn’t miss it, sending a screaming line drive back up the middle. For his second hit, he elevated one and sent it soaring, deep into the left-field for extra-bases.
Colin Ryder (2024 1B, South Elgin, IL) made some of the loudest contact of the day during his final at bat, as he absolutely demolished a baseball to left field. There is immense power potential is his 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame, and he creates massive amounts of leverage in his swing.
Joey Spano Jr. (2024 SS, Erie, PA) made the play of the day at shortstop for the Green Team, as he ranged to his back hand side, making a sliding play in the hole and popping up to get the runner at first. He is a smooth and fluid mover with obvious lateral range, and he displayed excellent adjustability and athleticism on that play.
