Yusef Charles (2026 3B, Maitland, FL) collected two singles on the day, a liner to the opposite field and a soft one to center field. There's very good feel for the barrel and he also ran the fastball into the lo-70s on the mound. 

Brody Marks (2027 C, Land O Lakes, FL) had the best velocity of the day working up to 79 on the mound with a very sharp breaker. He also hit a single hard down the pull side line. 

Jonathan Marzullo (2027 C, Jacksonville, FL) collected a line drive single back through the middle and showed good whip to the barrel. He's a standout defender too who blocks and receives well. 

Hector Sanchez (2027 OF, Miramar, FL) showed off the hose from centerfield as he threw out a runner at first base on a grounder back through the middle. The arm plays and there's also the makings of bat speed offensively. 

Landan Johnson (2027 3B, Highland City, FL) shortened up with two strikes and hit a line drive to the opposite field that went for a triple. Johnson also pitched and was up to 73 mph on the bump. 

Brayden Gardner (2027 MIF, Coral Springs, FL) showed good defensive acumen and fundamentals over at shortstop today. He follows through with transfers and made strong accurate throws to first base.
