Griffin Turner (2023 SS, Fort Worth, TX) is a long athlete with lots of athleticism and projection. He has a short inside swing path that effectively got the barrel to the ball on almost every swing and the beginnings of some solid bat speed.
Preston Bonn (2024 C, Lawrenceville, GA) has quick and accurate hitter's hands that drive his right handed swing. He creates some barrel whip and made consistent hard pull side line drive contact.
Cameron Chee-Aloy (2023 OF, Toronto, ON) has a pretty unique hitting style starting from a low and spread start but his athleticism and ability to create bat speed shine through it. He really hammered some balls late when he started turning the barrel out front.
Aidan Harris (2025 OF, McDonough, GA) is a young left handed hitter with a well timed swing and an accurate barrel with developing bat speed and ability to impact the ball. He's going to keep improving as he adds more strength and physical maturity.
Ryan Wynn (2023 SS, Douglasville, GA) hits from a calm and simple approach and could even afford a bit more pre-swing movement and rhythm. He makes up for this with very fast hands that create very good bat speed from a short path to the ball. He's a Wofford commit.
Chase Cartron (2024 1B, Owens Cross Roads, AL) is an extra big 6-6/215 left handed hitter and the strength to overpower the ball while also staying pretty short to contact for his size. He hits under control for the most part but let the barrel go on a few swings and showed his big power potential.
Raudi Rodriguez (2023 SS, Albany, GA) had the best raw bat speed at the showcase and it really wasn't close. He attacks every pitch aggressively and creates some real man jump on a couple of balls. It will be fun to see how his swing and bat speed translate to live pitching.
Bryce Hamilton (2023 OF, Marietta, GA) has plenty of strength in his 6-0/177 body and does an especially good job of getting into his lower half to help create bat speed and lift in his swing. He kept his load and trigger simple and repeatable as well, leading to lots of barrels.
Josh Gibbs (2025 SS, Cumming, GA) is a young right handed hitter who also gets into his hips well, which gives him lots more power than you'd expect from a 155 pound freshman.
Cullen Riel (2023 3B, Decatur, GA) has a really nice and smooth swing from the right side and kept his whole approach well timed in simple. He could take a big jump with more strength in his long and lean build.
Braiden Moore (2023 1B, Westminster, SC), on the other hand, is some kind of strong at a barrel chested 6-2/230 and has the raw power to make a ball park feel small when he's on time and squared up. Getting on time consistently will be his game challenge but it's top of the line raw juice.
Samuel Parker (2023 LHP, Marietta, GA) is a primary left handed pitcher with a Georgia State commitment but he may have matched Moore for raw juice in the barrel. Parker's left handed swing is long and loose with big whip and extension through the ball. Also like Moore, it's a question of how often the 6-4/200 athlete will get to that plus power.
Andrew Wells (2023 1B, Midland, GA) has a nice and strong 6-2/200 athletic build and good present bat speed. The right handed hitter drove some balls hard to left centerfield and has lots of projection ahead of him.
Sam Brown (2025 3B, Waverly Hall, GA) is very strong for a freshman and that translates well into present and future bat speed. He starts his hands about as low as a hitter can go to start, giving him big uphill angle but also creating lots of top spin to his best contact.
Logan Floyd (2023 1B, Adairsville, GA) has a compact strong 5-11/190 build and a very short and tight right handed swing. He pulled the ball hard consistently during his round with lots of impact and jump.
Shamaar McDuffie (2024 SS, Hampton, GA) is a very interesting fast twitch athlete who doesn't look like he has the strength at 5-10/140 to create present bat speed but who does through his fast hands and aggressive approach.
William Owens (2024 OF, Senoia, GA) has a very projectable 6-2/185 build and good present bat speed with more to come. He created lots of back spin on the ball while getting it in the air consistently with a pull oriented approach.
Julian Wright (2023 OF, Cartersville, GA) has the strength to hit at 6-1/200 and uses a simple load and a tight and quick lower half turn to generate bat speed and timing. The ball came off his barrel hard and loud.
Cody Craft (2024 C, Bethlehem, GA) didn't drive the ball quite as far as we expected given his 6-0/235 build but his base swing was very impressive, with lots of looseness and extension, and he squared up every ball with great plane at contact. When his size starts becoming strength, watch out.
