6/9/2026 2:12:22 AM

Mikey Papciak (2028 RHP, Greensboro, NC) got the start for the Orange squad, working in the 89-91 range with the fastball with life. Papciak works a smooth, athletic delivery with a quick arm, and pairs the fastball with a slider right around 80 with hard bite. 

Nathan Hazard (2028 LHP, Tampa, FL) got the start for the Navy squad, putting on an impressive display of stuff on the mound. He worked the fastball in the mid-upper 80s with some crossfire from the lefty slinger slot. He also mixed in a breaking ball with slurve action in the low-mid 70s.

Brooks DeRosa (2028 OF, Suwanee, GA) had a nice piece of hitting early in the first, sending it up the middle on the ground. DeRosa has a simple operation at the plate with solid bat speed, and he flexed the strength a bit with the 95 exit velocity.

Eisler Piloto (2028 3B, Miami Gardens, FL) shot one through the right side for a base knock in the third, showing off the strength with the barrel at the dish. Piloto has solid barrel feel, and sent this one through at 102 EV.

Tanner Herbek (2028 OF, Clarksville, TN) showed off the ability to work to all fields with a long single to right, sending it 302 feet into the corner in right. Herbek also has solid speed, and stole second in his first pitch on first base. 

Hunter Bartha (2028 SS, Beamsville, ON) had a loud barrel here in the third, sending it right at the center fielder on a line. Bartha has impressive strength at the plate with quick hands, and sent this one off the bat at 97 mph. 

Jaim Jorfredo Ferreira (2028 RHP, Caguas, PR) had a solid showing on the hill, working comfortably in the mid 80s (T87) with some sizzle to the fastball. Ferreira works a smooth delivery with a fluid arm path, and worked in a bigger breaking ball in the low-mid 70s range with 11-5 shape around 2500 RPM. 

Jack Rhodes (2028 C, Nashville, TN) had a loud showing here at BP today, and showed off the impressive strength in-game with a liner right at the right fielder at 101 EV. Rhodes creates plenty of lift at the plate with the ability to back spin baseballs. 

Brayden Entrekin (2028 OF, Russellville, AL) hammered one at the second baseman at 95 exit velocity in the fourth, showing off the pull side strength. Entrekin has solid bat speed with good feel for the barrel out front. 

Tyler D'Amico (2028 1B, Dix Hills, NY) had one of the more impressive swings of the day, burning the right fielder for an RBI triple. D'Amico works a smooth lefty swing with a solid base, and flexed the strength with this one at 94 EV.

Cal Williamson (2028 LHP, Atlanta, GA) had an impressive display of stuff on the mound, working mainly in the mid 80s with the higher spin fastball with carry (~2400s). Williamson worked a 3-pitch mix, going to the fading changeup at 76/77 and the curve in the low 70s with confidence. 

Micah Von (2028 C, Decatur, GA) showed off the strength at the plate with a long double, burning the center fielder. Von has a swing with solid bat speed and obvious impact out front, and he sent this one to center at 95 EV. 

Joseph Nystrom (2028 SS, Alpharetta, GA) had a very impressive swing here in the fifth, going the other way for a double. Nystrom tried to take the left field wall down, and sent it off the bat at 101 EV. 

Kingston Jones (2028 SS, Marietta, GA) shot one into the gap in the sixth for an RBI base knock, showing off the feel to hit. Jones works a simple operation with some strength, hammering this one at 92 EV. 

Luke Esquivel (2028 1B, Grapevine, TX) went lift off here in the sixth, flexing the power to right with a homer into the trees. Esquivel works a smooth lefty swing with some solid strength to the hands, gets this one out to the pull side.

Caelen Frederick (2028 OF, Alpharetta, GA) showed off the opposite field strength here in the sixth with a double to left at 90 EV. Frederick has solid power potential with the long and lanky frame, and got the barrel to this one. 

Peyton Tarlton (2028 OF, Indian Trail, NC) shot one up the middle for a base knock in the seventh, showing off the barrel feel. Tarlton works a smooth left handed swing with some pop in the barrel, and sent this one into center at 87 EV. 

Joshua Diaz (2028 3B, Staten Island, NY) had a good showing out on the hill, working mainly in the upper 80s with carry at the top of the zone. The fastball created plenty of swing and miss when up, and he paired that with a curve in the low 70s with good shape. 

Paxton Ladner (2028 1B, Waxhaw, NC) had an interesting look on the mound in the eighth, showing a true 3-pitch mix with the fastball working in the upper 80s with some run to the arm side. The changeup fell off the table in the low 80s and he kills the spin well on it. The curveball worked in the mid 70s with 11-5 shape with feel for the pitch. 

Jonah Boyd (2028 SS, Eastvale, CA) made a few nice plays out in the field, with a diving play at second base, a few good plays at short, and a nice play on the run at third. Boyd showcased well and impressed with the hands and the clean footwork in the field.
