Chad Jackson (2026 C, Westbury, NY) collected two hits in this one, as the 2026 Grad showed a simple, repeatable stroke with good feel for the barrel. He stays short to the baseball and has some quickness to his hands. 

Victor Frederick (2024 RHP, Northport, NY) was impressive across his three innings of work, as the immensely projectable right-hander ran his fastball up to 86 mph. He generates easy life and carry through the strike zone, while flashing a legit swing-and-miss slider that had short, late bite to it. Also, mixed in a more vertical curveball for strikes that showed abrupt downward tilt and generates some awkward takes. There is plenty of projection remaining, as he will continue to add velocity and refine his repertoire. 

Kevin Fajardo (2025 SS, Brentwood, NY) showed off his talent on the mound, as the athletic right-hander punched out two in his scoreless inning of work. He ran his fastball up to 83 mph from a loose three-quarters arm slot. He snapped off a few hellacious sliders for both strikes and swings-and-misses. He projects for more velocity moving forward, as he adds strength. 

Zachary Taylor (2024 LHP, Fair Lawn, NJ) scorched a double in this one, as the 2024 Grad continued to impress at the plate. He stays short and direct with the barrel and delivers it with some authority. 

Michael Jazylo (2024 1B, Baldwin, NY) continued to show he can handle the bat, as the right-handed hitting first baseman launched a triple to right center field. He implores a simple, repeatable stroke with good leverage and strength at impact.

Michael Gardner (2025 SS, Oyster Bay, NY) put on a consistent show throughout his round using an even balanced stance with compact bat speed through the zone to pepper the middle of the field. The 6-foot-1 160 pound frame has further room to develop and add to the power potential.

Kevin Fajardo (2025 SS, Brentwood, NY) used a slightly closed stance with balance to flash line drive contact gap to gap, keeping the bat path level through the zone with repeatability to the stroke. The athletic 6-foot 175 pound righty successfully used the opposite field and covered the entire zone well. 

Tyler Cook (2024 C, Glenwood Landing, NY) flashed an easy fluid stroke to all parts of the field, showcasing barrel control and consistent contact tool. The 5-foot-11 160 pound righty created lift in the bat path and has developing power potential. 

Colby Moholland (2026 1B, Robbinston, ME) pounded the pull side of the field with solid impact when on time, generating torque of the hips with plenty of strength in the lower half. The 6-foot-1 195 pound lefty swings a heavy barrel with bat speed to pair.

Cole Thomas (2026, Valley Stream, NY) got the afternoon started with a leadoff single, turning on a heater as he kept it just inside the third base bag. Not wasting much time, Thomas got the barrel out on the third-pitch of the game, shortening up with two-strikes. 

JJ Palumbo (2023, Westbury, NY) hammered a fastball to the pull side during his first trip to the plate, coasting into second as the ball would bounce over the left-field wall for a ground-rule double. Utilizing a compact stroke that packs a punch, the SUNY-Purchase commit showed off some pop that he flashed during his round of BP. Collecting his second knock of the game in the top of the 6^th, Palumbo stayed on a heater as he lined a triple into center continuing to impact the ball throughout the event. 

Sean Karbach (2026, Berlin, NJ) dumped a first-pitch breaking ball into right, bringing home Palumbo as the Royal team would extend their lead to 2-0 in the top half of the second. Karbach adjusted well as he displayed advanced barrel control, keeping his hands back to punch the breaker the opposite way. Collecting his second hit of the game, Karbach opened the top of the 7^th with a leadoff single through the left-side, not wasting any time as he attacked a first-pitch heater. 

Zachary Taylor (2024, Fair Lawn, NJ) showcased some advanced pitchability, landing his breaker and change-up for strikes often as he generated tons of swing-and-misses throughout his three-innings of work. Collecting five punchies along the way, Taylor sat in the mid-70s, hiding the ball well as he came from a deceptive ¾ slot. Utilizing his change-up effectively, he tunneled from the same slot, maintaining his arm speed as it displayed late tumbling actions through the zone, falling off the table. 

Vito Larosa (2024, Northport, NY) impacted the ball well throughout game action collecting two extra-base knocks in his first two trips to the plate. Working to the right-center gap, Larosa roped a double in his first at-bat, barreling up a 2-1 heater. In his following at-bat, Larosa would again barrel up a fastball, scorching a liner into right-center as he motored into third with a two-out triple.

Kevin Fajardo (2025, Brentwood, NY) got the White team on the board with a two-run single in the bottom half of the 5^th to tie things at two-all. Continuing to display quickness to his hands, Farjado turned on a inside fastball, getting the barrel out to the point of contact as he sent a hard grounder to third. 

Tyler Cook (2024, Glenwood Landing, NY) ambushed a first-pitch heater, getting all of it as he drove it deep into the left-center gap for a leadoff double to start the bottom half of the 6^th. Finishing off the game on the bump, Cook worked 82-84 with a sneaky heater that got on hitters, running it up to 85. Cooks’ skillset has certainly stood out throughout the day and continues to improve his stock. 

Christian Parisa (2024, Long Beach, NY) sent a scorcher back up the middle in his second trip to the plate for a leadoff single to get the White team started in the bottom of the 7^th. Squaring up a 2-0 fastball, Parisa got the barrel out and stayed through the extension well as he sent a rocket past the pitcher.

Julian Glasgow (2026, New York, NY) shot a line-drive over a leaping second baseman, bringing home the runner from third to put the White team ahead 3-2 late in the bottom of the 8^th. Going with a fastball on the outer half, Glasgow displayed a mature approach as got the barrel on plane early and worked through extension well.
