Gaines Pickle (2030 3B, Warrior, AL) had a loud swing in this one early, hammering one into the gap for a triple. The swing works best into the pull side gap for power, and he didn't miss his pitch in the first. Pickle later tripled again in the tenth.
Landon Worsham (2030 1B, Waynesboro, MS) had a nice swing in the top of the third, sending one into right center for a base knock and a pair of RBIs. Worsham has some strength to the frame, and the hands work inside the baseball well.
Asher Costanzo (2030 3B, Helena, AL) had a solid day one the plate and on the mound. At the plate Costanzo had a 2-3 day including a double down the left field line. Costanzo was also up to 77 on the mound with nice sink to the fastball.
Brantley Rogers (2030 SS, Hernando, MS) had a nice at bat here in the top of the third, hammering a triple into the gap. Rogers has some strength to the barrel, and the swing works best into the gaps and through the middle of the field.
Brooks Anglin (2030 1B, Valley, AL) had a nice swing in the top of the 8th, sending one into center for a triple. Anglin has a simple operation at the plate, and the hands extend through the baseball well.
Ethan Gaspard (2030 C, Flora, MS) hammered one for a triple in the 8th, showing off the speed and the twitch to the swing. Gaspard impressed throughout the day in drills with the tools as well.
Boone Hecklinski (2030 C, Birmingham, AL) showed well on both the mound and at the plate. In the 9th, Hecklinski came up big and sent a double into center for an RBI. He was also up to 79 on the mound with good life in a clean inning of work where he struck out the side.
Grayson Searcy (2030 OF, Arlington, TN) had an impressive swing late in this one, sending one deep to right for a triple. Searcy has solid strength to all fields with good feel for the barrel.
Caden Kappler (2030 3B, Hoover, AL) was solid on the mound, working the fastball up to 80 with some life to it. Kappler also worked with a four pitch mix, showing a splitter, slider, and cutter. The splitter and cutter were used often, with the cutter working with horizontal shape and the splitter showing late depth.
