Adrian Ayala Castellano (2023 SS, Omaha, NE) produced some solid contact on the day for his squad, going 1-for-3 with a single and a run scored. He squared up a high fly ball to left field that would have went for extra-bases, but the left-fielder made a nice play to record the out. He also showed some speed and intelligence on the base paths, as he stole home to generate a run.
Sam Decker (2023 RHP, Olathe, KS) put together a quality start for the Gray Team, going three innings and striking out five opposing batters. The right-hander ran his fastball up to 76 mph with significant arm side run/sink from a side arm slot. His arm slot proved to be deceptive, as he missed barrels and did a good job of mixing speeds and movement.
Carson McCaleb (2023 C, Lake St Louis, MO) has looked good behind the dish, throwing out multiple runners and showing advanced arm strength. The switch-hitter provides some upside offensively as well, and he showed good pop from the left side today, collecting a double in the opposite field gap.
Gage Maddox (2024 OF, Kansas City, MO) has impressed all weekend, and he capped it off today with a sharply-hit line drive to the opposite field gap for a standup triple. Has shown notable power to the opposite field during the games, and he would finish the day 2-for-3 with a double and a triple. He also hopped on the mound for two innings, running his fastball up to 81 mph and showing two distinct breaking balls.
