Batting Practice Highlights

6/7/2020

Boston Smith (2021 C, Vandalia, OH) took one of the most impressive batting practices you'll see at a PG showcase, launching 4-5 bombs and some other line drive missiles with easy plus left-handed bat speed. He is a Cincinnati commit.

Julius Scearce (2021 SS, Lexington, KY) is a 6-2/180 left-handed hitting Kentucky commit with one of those swings that just consistently squares up the baseball.  He stays on top of the ball well and repeats his timing like a player with countless repetitions.

Korbyn Dickerson (2022 OF, Jeffersonville, IN) is a young Louisville commit with a very loose and athletic 6-1/170 build.  He has a loose and tension free swing that has some length but also has plenty of whip and he created plenty of carry, especially to right centerfield.

Al Holguin (2021 1B, Chicago, IL) is a very strong 6-2/210 left handed hitter with a very interesting combination of strength, raw bat speed and power approach to his swing. 

Colby Guy (2021 SS, Charlotte, NC) is a quick twitch athlete with very fast hands from the right side of the plate.  He projects very well as he continues to add strength to his slender 150 pound build.

Aaron Saltsman (2021 OF, Rockledge, FL) has about as simple and direct approach as you will see in a hitter, helped significantly by his very fast hands.  He creates plus bat speed and showed his power to the pull side well.

Gunner Aldridge (2021 2B, Lake Orion, MI) has a smooth left handed swing and projects plenty of power in his 6-1/160 frame.  One of the keys to his development will be learning to get his front foot down in time to help him create leverage and additional bat speed.

Brett Denby (2023 SS, Sellersburg, IN) is a very athletic young player with good present bat speed and a strong pull side approach.

Alexander Diaz (2021 SS, Brooklyn, NY) most impressive hitting tool is that he squares up the ball almost every swing.  He did this during batting practice and did the same thing during the game.  His swing is exceptionally simple and repeatable.

Stephen Katch (2023 3B, Lancaster, PA) stood out for his power potential for a 2023, with a strong and well build 6-0/190 frame.  He swings hard and creates bat speed and lift, especially when he waits back on the ball.
